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

In the very early, very hot moments of the universe, the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces were actually the same force—the electroweak interaction. Scientists can now study this interaction ...
