On Wednesday, April 7, the Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab released its eagerly awaited first result. In the experiment, muons (like electrons but heavier) race around the 150-foot circumference ...

Scientists sometimes make bold claims about where their research might lead, but the most weighty assertions are usually scaled back or forgotten entirely as new data becomes available. Several years ...

Discovery After a nearly three-decade quest, scientists report they have detected a tell-tale change in a sub-atomic particle, further backing a key theory about the Universe. Researchers at the world ...

“WHO ORDERED that?” This was the reaction, famous in particle-physics circles, of Isidor Isaac Rabi to the discovery of the muon. Rabi, a Nobel laureate who helped America develop the atom bomb, was ...

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 ...

The 50-foot-wide racetrack used to study muons traveled by barge around Florida and up the Mississippi, and then by truck across Illinois. Reidar Hahn, Fermilab About 50 years ago, physicists came up ...

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. The writer’s most recent book is ‘How to Grow a Human’ Whatever else finally emerges from the excitement that ...

One of the smallest things in the universe could have just changed everything we know about it. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in ...

Abnormalities found in the 'standard model of physics' by Fermilab and CERN could reveal a 'universal theory of everything' according to famed physicist Michio Kaku. In his latest book, Kaku, 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 ...
