The muon g-2 experiment might mean the Standard Model of physics is incomplete, but that's just the beginning

Muons, elementary particles similar to electrons, appear to behave like magnets, but the Fermilab experiment is still not confirmation

An unexpected green afterglow helped a storm chaser discover a new lightning phenomenon

"Sprites" can lead to new insights about lightning storm dynamics

The key to unlocking a glacier's past is a chainsaw and some quantum mechanics

The layers that are so useful in dating the glaciers are disappearing because of climate change, so scientists are finding new ways to date glaciers

If you're trying to catch an atom, try bending Heisenberg's uncertainty principle a little

Study author describes how quantum mechanics can be used to enhance the precision of measurements — and how other fields can benefit too
