dipolar

An excursion is when the magnetic field gets very weak, becomes non-dipolar, but then returns to the original polarity that the field was before the excursion.

Water is dipolar (the oxygen atom 'pulls' harder on the electrons it's sharing with the hydrogen atoms, so the middle is negative and the ends are positive).

If two people are reading the news and come to dipolar conclusions, how do they come to an agreement?

There are no dipolar gravity oscillation because of conservation of momentum, thus the waves must be quadrupolar.

And do radio waves have some kind of stronger effect on molecules that are dipolar?

What you describe is a dipolar oscillation.

Gravity is unipolar, electromagnetism is dipolar and the strong force is multipolar.

The Wigner-Eckart theorem is the thing to look up if you're interested.) These measurements, then are measuring the dipolar component of the electron's electromagnetic interaction.

Radio waves interact very well with metal, which is not dipolar.

Which is supposedly why earth's magnetic field stayed axially dipolar.

Water molecules are dipolar and vibrates with the microwaves.

Among possible solvents, water is the most abundant and chemically versatile (dipolar, wide liquid range, high heat capacity, good at dissolving ions and organics).

Summary: An announcement by a Stanford University team in Physical Review Letters that it has created the world's first dipolar quantum fermionic gas from the metal dysprosium—"an entirely new form of quantum matter," as Stanford applied physics professor and lead author Benjamin Lev put it—represents a major step toward understanding the behavior of these systems of particles.
