Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical ...

The muon mismatch was caused by calculation limits, not a new force. Improved methods bring theory and experiment into close ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science’s most ...

The magnetic moment of the muon is an important precision parameter for putting the standard model of particle physics to the test. After years of work, the research group led by Professor Hartmut ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

A major obstacle in calculating the muon’s behavior is the strong force, the most powerful of the four fundamental forces, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak force. It binds quarks ...

New nitride materials could let electricity control hidden magnetic spin patterns, pointing toward faster and more stable ...
