Muon Anomaly: How A 'Last Hope' Effort Revolutionizes Physics

Medicine & Technology Apr 18, 2021

Earlier this month, physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) near Chicago reported the results of the Muon g-2 experiment - and a study released the same day challenges decades of study on the subject.

New Evidence of Ultrarare Process Could Explain Dark Matter

Jul 28, 2020

Scientists at CERN have reported finding evidence for a process previously predicted by theory. The ultra-rare process could lead to new physics regarding particle processes, explaining dark matter and answering cosmological questions.

Scientists Are Hosting Particle Derbies to Learn More About the Elusive Recipe for the 'Quantum Soup'

Jan 07, 2020

The quantum world seems to settle for just one flavor, when there are more to be found in the quantum soup. This favorite taste may not be the only one, as it is investigated by physicists.

Could A Techni-Particle Save Us from the Universe’s Undoing?

Nov 08, 2014

In the preface to a new book entitled “Starmus”, published last month, Cambridge cosmologist Stephen Hawking said that if indeed the particle is the Higgs Boson, then CERN’s discovery could lead to the demise of the universe if its contents were to become unstable. But a new research analysis published this month in the journal Physical Review D, says that Hawking and the rest of the universe may need not fear, because the particle may in fact not be what it appears.
