Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical ...

Collaboration that made precise measurement of the g-2 value honored with $3 million from the Breakthrough Prize in ...

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the ...

A University of Washington professor and hundreds of others who measured the muon's magnetism have won a $3 million ...

A major obstacle in calculating the muon’s behavior is the strong force, the most powerful of the four fundamental forces, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak force. It binds quarks ...

For over 60 years, measurements of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment appeared to conflict with the Standard Model, sparking speculation about unknown forces. The new study, led by Zoltan Fodor of ...

Scientists have directly observed muonic molecules in resonance states for the first time, using a high-resolution X-ray ...

Scientists from collaborations at Fermilab, CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory have won the 2026 Breakthrough Prize in ...

In 2021, the first result from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab confirmed a two-decade-old measurement from Brookhaven, ...

Three life-science prizes were awarded for advances in gene therapies. Opthalmologists Jean Bennett and Albert Maguire, and ...

Sometimes, a major discovery is exactly what you were hoping not to find. That’s the case with a team at Penn State who seem ...
