A new experiment has broken the known rules of physics, hinting at a mysterious, unknown force that has shaped our universe awoodward@insider.com (Aylin Woodward) © Reidar Hahn/Fermilab The superconducting magnetic storage ring at the Fermilab is 50 feet in diameter. Reidar Hahn/Fermilab A new study suggests subatomic particles called muons are breaking the laws of physics. This may mean a mysterious force is affecting muons, which would make our understanding of physics inco...

ExtremeTech Fermilab Experiment Hints at New Fundamental Force of Nature By Ryan Whitwam on April 9, 2021 at 7:30 am This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use. Scientists working at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois have made some of the most important discoveries in physics over the years, including the existence of the top quark and characterizing the neutrino. Now, the team working on Fermilab’s Muon g−2 experiment has reported a tan...

This week on the Engadget Podcast, physicist Dr. Michio Kaku joins Cherlynn and Devindra to chat about his new book, The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything. He dives into the trouble with the Standard Model of physics, this week’s surprising news around muons and why believes we’ll eventually unite with superintelligent robots and roam the cosmos as beings of pure energy. (Hey, it could happen.) Also, Chris Velazco joins to get up in his feelings about LG abandoning the mob...

Particles called muons behave in a way not predicted by scientists best theory The Muon g-2 ring sits amid electronic racks, the muon beamline and other equipment.  April 9, 2021 The first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energys Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists best theory, the Standard Model of particle physics. The results are published in the journal The strong ...

 E-Mail The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is setting up six new Research Units and a new Clinical Research Unit. The DFG Joint Committee decided this on the recommendation of the Senate. The meetings of the DFGs statutory bodies were conducted online due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new Research Units will receive total funding of approximately €41 million, including a 22-percent programme allowance for indirect project-related costs. The funding durat...

• Source:  Associated Press 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.

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 perplexing. Muons – a type of subatomic particle – were moving in unexpected ways that didn’t match theoretical predictions. Was the theory wrong? Was the experiment off? Or, tantalizingly, was this evidence of new physics? Physicists have been trying to solve this mystery every since. One g...

April 7, 2021 | 5:39 PM Evidence is mounting that a tiny subatomic particle seems to be disobeying the known laws of physics, scientists announced Wednesday, a finding that would open a vast and tantalizing hole in our understanding of the universe. The result, physicists say, suggests that there are forms of matter and energy vital to the nature and evolution of the cosmos that are not yet known to science. The new work, they said, could eventually lead to breakthroughs more dramatic than the ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the way physicists think the universe works – a prospect that has the field of particle physics baffled and thrilled. Tiny particles called muons are not 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 universe works...
