LOS ALAMOS, N.M., February 24, 2021--A complex high-energy nuclear physics experiment, aiming to measure the contributions of antiquarks to the structure of the proton and neutron, has produced ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

The muon—the short-lived cousin of the electron—could be the key to understanding relationships between other fundamental particles. And it holds a mystery all its own. In the 1930s, scientists ...

Here’s how physicists calculate g-2, the value that will determine whether the muon is giving us a sign of new physics. Like racecars on a track, thousands of particles called muons zip around an ...
