Something odd is happening deep inside the data streams from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A set of “forbidden” patterns in how unstable particles decay, combined with rare Higgs events and a ...

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 ...

Studying the tiniest parts of the universe can sometime require very complex transportation arrangements. Just ask the folks at Fermilab. Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011. Eric and his ...

Quantum materials and superconductors are difficult enough to understand on their own. Unconventional superconductors, which ...

Here’s how physicists calculate g-2, the value that will determine whether the muon is giving us a sign of new physics. Like racecars on a track, thousands of particles called muons zip around an ...
