Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you want to probe the frontiers of fundamental physics, you have to ...

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. Particle accelerators are best known for colliding ...

The “P5” panel of US particle physicists says that work on developing a future muon collider could allow the US to regain the “energy frontier”, as Michael Allen reveals One for the future A muon ...

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 ...

Last month, a group of researchers in the United States presented a rousing vision for the future of high-energy particle physics. The recommendations from the Particle Physics Project Prioritization ...

A U.S. research lab has announced one of the most precise measurements ever of how a subatomic particle behaves, teeing up a showdown that could either vindicate one of science’s most powerful ...

The muon’s mysteries continue to leave physicists spellbound. Last year, an experiment suggested that the elementary particle had inexplicably strong magnetism, possibly breaking a decades-long streak ...
