Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and thrilled. Tiny particles called muons aren’t quite doing what is expected of them in two different long-running experiments in the United States and Europe. The confounding results — if proven right — reveal major problems with the rulebook physicists use to describe and understand how the univ...

It’s an exciting prospect, but too early to say so definitively professor tells us Katyanna Quach Thu 8 Apr 2021 // 22:34 UTC Share Copy Physicists are this week giddy with excitement after a decade-long experiment looking at the inner-workings of a muon, a type of particle similar to the electron, hints that there may be another fundamental particle or force waiting to be discovered. The Muon g-2 experiment, spun up at the US Department of Energy’s Fermi National Ac...

Share this article The latest news from the world of physics has seen mounting evidence that a minuscule subatomic particle known as muon is disrupting the laws of physics. The New York Times reported that results of the experiment now suggest that there might be different forms of matter and energy that have yet to be discovered. These matters are expected to be essential to the natural evolution of the cosmos, currently still unknown to science. At the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, ...

Article content The key to understanding how the universe works may have been discovered by scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider in a breakthrough hailed as the most exciting in 20 years. Physicists have seen signs that a mystery force is interacting with other particles in a manner never witnessed before. It may explain some of the deepest puzzles in modern physics, such as what dark matter is made from, or why there is an imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe. We apolo...

Why US Fermilab’s findings on ‘muons’ could change the laws of physics as we know them Sandhya Ramesh © Provided by The Print Bengaluru: Findings from an experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) near Chicago, USA, have thrown up preliminary results that suggest we might have to rethink the basic physics of the universe and what we understand of it. The experiment was conducted to observe one of the 17 known fundamental particles of the universe,...

Preliminary results from an international science experiment this week sent shock waves through the world of physics, and its all due to a tiny particles surprising wobble. Scientists have spent decades trying to get a closer look at muons — subatomic particles that blip in and out of existence in a matter of microseconds. On Wednesday, scientists at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, revealed evidence that muons wobble in a way that goes against the longstanding Standard Model of particle physic...
