In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have achieved exciting progress in quantum metrology, a field ...

After six years of collecting data, the muon g-2 experiment released its results and could chart a new path for particle physics.

A new measurement of the exotic “atom” — consisting of an electron and its antiparticle, a positron — disagrees with theoretical calculations, scientists report in the Aug. 14 Physical ...

The most exciting possible avenue for physics beyond the standard model of particle physics has been, for years, the discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. After refinement in ...

A physical constant’s value shouldn’t depend on how you measure it The Fine Structure Constant may help tell us what's beyond the Standard Model. John Timmer – Apr 13, 2018 11:33 am | 124 ...

The role of quantum mechanics is to describe the world at such a small scale that the conventional rules of physics do not apply. If measurements from this field cannot be considered absolute, it ...

The standard model of particle physics has stood the test of time for decades, but now a new measurement of a particle called the W boson could indicate a chink in its armour. Close.

New measurement of wobbling muons back up previous findings – potentially challenging the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
