Physicists now have a brand-new measurement of a property of the muon called the anomalous magnetic moment that improves the precision of their previous result by a factor of 2. An international ...

The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists’ best ...

Scientists are testing our fundamental understanding of the universe, and there’s much more to discover. What do touch screens, radiation therapy and shrink wrap have in common? They were all made ...

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 ...

The arrival of the enormous electromagnet at Fermilab for the Muon g-2 experiment. The magnet was constructed and used at Brookhaven in the 1990s and early 2000s, but was shipped across the country ...

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 ...

In the world of particle physics, you are never alone — quite literally. Every moment there is an invisible rainstorm of subatomic particles falling down on us from space. Unlike the kind of matter we ...

This is Scientific American’s 60-Second Science podcast. I’m Clara Moskowitz. There are probably many more particles out there in the universe than the ones we know about. And today physicists got a ...

The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is ...
