Is the Standard Model of Particle Physics really Kaput?
Lately the internet has been flooded with stories about the Standard Model of particle physics having been broken.These stories stem from a recent experiment by physicists at Fermilab in Illinois, where a group of scientists discovered…
The muon and its oscillation
There's a lot of suspension on the unintended wobble. Muons, heavier cousins of electrons, don't behave as expected when thrown through a strong magnetic field, an Illinois lab reports. By teetering…
Have we just discovered new physics? These theoretical physicists don’t think so
When the results of an experiment don't match the predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is wrong.
Fifteen years ago, physicists from Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered something…

Who doesn't love theoretical physics papers on a Friday? Today, April 9, a voluminous seventy-nine page research paper titled "The self-taught universe" has been uploaded (via tnw). Its…
Fermilab Particle Physics Experiment – Study Could Change Physics
In 2013, Popular mechanics Contributor William Herkewitz covered the harrowing journey of a gargantuan electromagnet - which would become a vital part of the upcoming Muon g-2 experiment - from Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton,…
Tiny, flickering muon just shook particle physics to its core
The results of one of the most eagerly awaited experiments in particle physics have arrived, and they could be about to make every researcher's wildest dreams come true: they might, might, shatter physics. as we know it.Evidence from the…
