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 ...

Scientists spent decades chasing signs of a mysterious new force hidden inside the muon, one of nature’s strangest particles.

First results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab have strengthened evidence of new physics. The centerpiece of the experiment is a 50-foot-diameter superconducting magnetic storage ring, which ...

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 ...

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 at Fermilab near Chicago are uncovering possible evidence of a potential new force of nature by observing muons' unconventional behavior, deviating from the current sub-atomic theory.
