An international team of physicists has reported what it describes as the most significant deviation to date between experiment and theory in particle physics. Measurements of how muons wobble in a ...

A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — ...
