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 ...

A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

Muons might not behave as expected. But scientists can’t agree on what to expect. By taking stock of how the subatomic particles wobble in a magnetic field, physicists have pinned down a property of ...

Short pulses of light that impart rotation on a material's atoms can be used to switch a property called ferroaxiality, which ...

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--High school teachers who want new ways to help physics students learn more from lab activities have a new resource from NSTA Press. The book—a one-stop source of ...

THE author states in his preface that this book is intended for students of physics who have placed the higher school certificate examination behind them and are proceeding to university scholarships ...

The discovery that magnetic fields can dramatically change the course of some combustion reactions could lead to myriad new materials that can be specially tuned for particular applications. If, in ...
