NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble.

The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their understanding of physics ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics ...

A U.S. research lab has announced one of the most precise measurements ever of how a subatomic particle behaves, teeing up a showdown that could either vindicate one of science’s most powerful ...

Experts whizzed tiny muons, which are similar to electrons, through a 50-foot-diameter ring at the US Energy Department's Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois.

At Fermilab, US physicists are refining their measurements of this subatomic particle—which has major implications for the Standard Model.

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a ...

By Will Dunham. WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing ...

New subatomic particle discovery may challenge the Standard Model and explain why matter dominates over antimatter in the universe. The post New Subatomic Particle Discovery Could Rewrite Physics ...

A subatomic particle called the muon caused waves when its experimental behaviour didn't align with a prediction based on the standard model. A new calculation might resolve the discrepancy ...

A single, super-energetic subatomic particle left a sparkling trail of light in the depths. And it did so right in the middle of an odd sort of telescope that was partway through construction.
