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
The Ever Given and the physics of big ships clogged the Suez Canal
Wider and wider container ships carry more cargo but are extremely difficult to steer in tight spaces like a canal

Is dark matter just made of "antimatter nuggets"?
New research asks how the world would look if chunks of antimatter collided with people, rocks, and stars
A tiny particle collider yields new evidence for a type of 'quasiparticles' called anyons
These particles could help make better quantum computers
Deborah Jin engineered new quantum states of matter — twice
According to colleague Kathryn J. Levin, Jin "probably would have gotten the Nobel"
How mezcal bubbles can help us understand lava flows
The fluid mechanics of a good mezcal are complex
The International Space Station creates bigger, colder states of matter than are possible on Earth
On Earth, these experiments are complicated by gravity
Physicists measured general relativity's effects using clocks
The findings will let us apply the theory here on Earth

You can mimic the physics happening on the surface of the Sun in your kitchen
As the plasma on the Sun's surface heats and cools, it forms cells the size of Texas
Coffee baristas were right all along — grinding coffee finer doesn't always produce a stronger cup of espresso coffee
Scientists use mathematical modelling and experiments to prep the perfect cup of espresso
