The muon is often described as the electron’s heavy cousin. A more appropriate description might be its rogue relation. Since its discovery triggered the words “who ordered that” (Isidor Isaac Rabi, ...

Quantum materials and superconductors are difficult enough to understand on their own. Unconventional superconductors, which cannot be ...

A subatomic particle called the muon is wobbling far more than leading physics models can explain. Its unusual behavior could be evidence of a fifth force of nature or a new dimension. Scientists ...

Superfast, subatomic-sized particles called muons have been used to wirelessly navigate underground in a reportedly world first. By using muon-detecting ground stations synchronized with an ...
