Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

Something genuinely strange has just happened in fundamental physics: an underground neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean ...

A subatomic particle called the muon is wobbling far more than leading physics models can explain. Its unusual behavior could be evidence of a fifth force of nature or a new dimension. Scientists ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

The puzzling behaviour of a fundamental particle called a muon, which some scientists think could be a sign of new physics, might actually be explained by our current theories. That’s according to a ...

The muon storage ring at Fermilab. Credit: Reidar Hahn/Wikimedia Commons Magnetic moment is an intrinsic property of a particle with spin, arising from interaction between the particle and a magnet or ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

The “P5” panel of US particle physicists says that work on developing a future muon collider could allow the US to regain the “energy frontier”, as Michael Allen reveals One for the future A muon ...
