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

Scientists may have observed the Higgs boson doing a new trick: creating pairs of muons. When the Higgs boson was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, it was the final piece of ...

The discovery of the muon originally confounded physicists. Today international experiments are using the previously perplexing particle to gain a new understanding of our world. At the beginning of ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Here’s how physicists calculate g-2, the value that will determine whether the muon is giving us a sign of new physics. Like racecars on a track, thousands of particles called muons zip around an ...

Senior Lecturer in Particle Physics Informatics, Brunel University of London The fact that we are here at all is one of the greatest puzzles of physics. We are made from normal particles such as ...
