A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

Electron behavior is so complex and entangled, only quantum math may suffice ...

Scientists have created the world's thinnest magnet, just one atom thick, which could revolutionize computer memory in the ...

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the ...

Researchers have shown that certain metal-organic materials can act as permanent magnets at temperatures of up to 242 °C, while remaining magnetized in external magnetic fields as strong as 7500 ...

For observers on Earth, the sun appears as a bright, familiar disk—but what we see is only half the story. Like the moon, one ...

A surprising breakthrough in physics could reshape the future of computing by tapping into a strange, previously untapped ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...
