Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science’s most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...

The puzzling behaviour of a fundamental particle called a muon, which some scientists think could be a sign of new physics, might actually be explained by our current theories. That’s according to a ...

An international team has produced the most precise calculation yet of the muon's magnetic moment, resolving a decades-long discrepancy with experimental results. The new hybrid method, combining ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Physics can (at least in theory) extend far beyond the boundaries of the Standard Model. Evolving in phases through the early to mid-1970s, it has ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...
