Several massive multimillion dollar experiments should soon reveal more about the nature of these ghostly particles ...

Observations of extremely rare subatomic particle actions have allowed scientists to put one of the most stringent limits yet on the reigning theory of particle physics. Physicists at the world's ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...

A subatomic particle known as a muon is disobeying the basic laws of physics, according to preliminary results from two separate experiments debuted on Wednesday. The Muon g-2 experiment at the ...

GENEVA -- One of the very pillars of physics and Einstein's theory of relativity -- that nothing can go faster than the speed of light -- was rocked Thursday by new findings from one of the world's ...

GENEVA -- A pillar of physics -- that nothing can go faster than the speed of light -- appears to be smashed by an oddball subatomic particle that has apparently made a giant end run around Albert ...

Jefferson Lab’s search for smaller-than-an-atom bits of matter that nobody has spotted but that theory says exist is getting some help with crunching through the reams of data its GlueX detector has ...
