A balloon drifting 37 kilometers above Antarctica once caught a whisper from the ice that should never have been heard. In 2016, NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) detected radio ...

Modern physics underpins many of the greatest technological discoveries of the past few decades. The cell phones and computers upon which we rely were sewn into reality thanks to a fundamental ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...

Naples, Italy — Beneath the honking horns and operatic yelling of Naples, the most blissfully chaotic city in Italy, archeologist Raffaella Bosso descends into the deafening silence of an underground ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For nearly a century, the magnetic anomaly of the fundamental particle known as a muon has served as a means to test theories against experimental ...

NASA’s recent detection of unusual signals emerging from Antarctica’s ice sheet has sparked a flurry of questions among the ...
