Scientists working on Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment released the world's most precise measurement yet of the magnetic moment of the muon, bringing particle physics closer to the ultimate showdown ...

Physicists now have a brand-new measurement of a property of the muon called the anomalous magnetic moment that improves the precision of their previous result by a factor of 2. An international ...

The Muon g-2 experiment (pronounced “gee minus two”) is designed to look for tantalizing hints of physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. It does this by measuring the magnetic field ...

Interferometry has become an indispensable diagnostic tool in plasma physics, enabling the precise measurement of electron densities and detailed imaging of plasma behaviour. By utilising the ...

The deviance of a tiny particle called the muon might prove that one of the most well-tested theories in physics is incomplete. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller, a science reporter, recently earned a ...

When hundreds of physicists gathered on a Zoom call in late February to discuss their experiment’s results, none of them knew what they had found. Like doctors in a clinical trial, the researchers at ...

One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...

A quantum measurement not only extracts information from a system but also modifies its state: the system is projected into an eigenstate of the measurement operator. Such projective measurements can ...
