Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...

WASHINGTON (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 something in their ...

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 ...

Using muon spin rotation spectroscopy, researchers from Japan and Canada have successfully captured the rapid conversion of ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

Building experimental evidence suggests that the electron, muon and tau may feel different forces. When the tau lepton was discovered in the 1970s, it didn’t resolve any outstanding mysteries—it ...

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 ...

The Muon’s aberrant behavior, an extended quantum particle wobble, upends the Standard Theory, creating in Physics an existential wobble. If you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our award ...

The deviance of a tiny particle called the muon might prove that one of the most well-tested theories in physics is incomplete. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller, a science reporter, recently earned a ...
