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

For decades, scientists studying the muon have been puzzled by a strange pattern in the way muons rotate in magnetic fields, one that left physicists wondering if it can be explained by the Standard ...

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

When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered something ...

At more than one million degrees, the sun's atmosphere—the corona—is incredibly hot; but not everywhere. Time and again, huge ...

Muon is the heavier cousin (around 200 times) of the electron. It is produced when cosmic rays interact with Earth’s ...

Finding an elusive elementary particle is more viable than ever after an international team of scientists conducted the first experiment to explore magnetic monopoles using the Large Hadron Collider.

Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system, has a magnetic field that has intrigued scientists for decades. Recent observations indicate that this magnetic field is weakening, prompting ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science’s most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...
