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 ...

Fermilab’s Mu2e experiment has reached a critical assembly stage with its 60-ton cosmic-ray veto system in the detector hall, ...

The muon collider was once dismissed as impossible, but is now gaining steam as the successor to the Large Hadron Collider.

SAN FRANCISCO – Muon Space will deliver space weather data to the U.S. Space Force under a $400,000 contract option announced July 11. Under the original $2.8 million contract with Air Force Life ...

Jeff Carlson writes about mobile technology for CNET. He is also the author of dozens of how-to books covering a wide spectrum ranging from Apple devices and cameras to photo editing software and ...

Muons might not behave as expected. But scientists can’t agree on what to expect. By taking stock of how the subatomic particles wobble in a magnetic field, physicists have pinned down a property of ...

Final results from a long-running U.S.-based experiment announced Tuesday show a tiny particle continues to act strangely—but that's still good news for the laws of physics as we know them. "This ...

For experimental physicists, the latest measurement of the muon is the best of times. For theorists there's still work to do. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates.

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider. In the spring of 2022, Karri DiPetrillo was gearing up for the final step of the Snowmass particle physics community planning process. It ...
