Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...
In the mid-1930s, physicists thought they knew all the subatomic particles of nature – the proton, neutron, and electron of the atom. However, in 1936 the muon was discovered – a new particle having ...
NASA’s recent detection of unusual signals emerging from Antarctica’s ice sheet has sparked a flurry of questions among the scientific community. These anomalies, detected through advanced ...
Precise measurements of the magnetic moment of the muon disagree with theoretical predictions. Katie Pennicott asks if the Standard Model of particle physics has finally cracked. In a spin The Muon (g ...
It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...
