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 ...

Studying gene expression in a cancer patient's cells can help clinical biologists understand the cancer's origin and predict the success of different treatments. But cells are complex and contain many ...

An ultraprecise new measurement has given some weird particle physics theories a black eye. By measuring one of nature’s most fundamental constants more precisely than before, scientists have tested ...

Risk at a nuclear power plant can take many forms. Operators are concerned about factors that impact consistent, efficient energy production. Engineers are concerned about component reliability, ...

Scientists successfully measured an event using zeptoseconds, which is an incredibly brief fraction of a second. The time it took for a photo to pass through a hydrogen molecule was measured at 247 ...

I was watching Ben Krasnow making iron nitride permanent magnets and was struck by the fact that about half of the video was about making a magnetometer – a device for measuring and characterizing the ...
