For experimental physicists, the latest measurement of the muon is the best of times. For theorists there's still work to do.

Muon tomography, or muography, is the practice of using muons generated by cosmic rays interacting with Earth’s atmosphere to image structures on Earth’s surface, akin to producing an X-ray. In lieu ...

A subatomic particle called the muon is wobbling far more than leading physics models can explain. Its unusual behavior could be evidence of a fifth force of nature or a new dimension. Scientists ...

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 ...

Muon Space is reimagining how Earth observation satellites can help humanity respond to one of the planet’s most urgent challenges — wildfires — and how commercial space technology can deliver ...

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 ...

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 ...

A prototype of a device that could someday detect nukes through layers of steel just passed its first test. The detector, which uses technology that was developed for particle physics experiments at ...

SAN FRANCISCO – Muon Space will deliver space weather data to the U.S. Space Force under a $400,000 contract option announced July 11. Under the original $2.8 million contract with Air Force Life ...

Muon Space, a small satellite manufacturing startup, has closed its Series B capital raise at $146 million to support the scaling of its production posture and acquire a fellow young company that ...
