A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

Another nail may seal the coffin of the muon as a venue for new physics. A team of physicists taking highly precise calculations of the muon’s properties in simulations found the particle’s properties ...

When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered something ...

The final result from the Muon g-2 Experiment has exceeded all expectations, achieving a precision likely to remain unmatched for generations. Yet, recent tensions in theoretical predictions have put ...

Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory has published its first results from the Muon g-2 experiment, hinting at 'yet undiscovered particles or forces.' At the core of the effort is confirmation that ...

Inside a locked cabinet, an envelope held a number that was poised to rock the physics community, regardless of its contents. The value, a clock measurement deliberately hidden to keep physicists’ ...

A business has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise and it was honoured by a visit from the Lord-Lieutenant of ...

The news that muons have a little extra wiggle in their step sent word buzzing around the world this spring. The Muon g-2 experiment hosted at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced April 7 ...

One of the smallest things in the universe could have just changed everything we know about it. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in ...
