The muon, a subatomic particle similar to the electron, has been measured with unprecedented precision in a new experiment at Fermilab. The findings revealed a discrepancy with the theoretical prediction, suggesting that there may be new physics beyond the Standard Model due to the muon's tiny magnetic moment, which is affected by the quantum fluctuations of other particles.

#Fermilab measures a muon's wobble down to the 9th digit.
I know. It sounds like gibberish. But it actually furthers the study of the universe.
Read about it here.

Subatomic muons have a little magnet inside which makes them wobble. This could be scientifically significant.

Bemused by the @BBC write-up of the #muon #gminus2 result - very cool to have this experimental precision, but when the theory prediction is still up in the air how can anyone say the #StandardModel isn't working and you need a #FifthForce? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66407099

The electron may be catching up to the muon in terms of its ability to test the standard model through "g-2" measurements.

And since I am sharing a g-2 story, I'm going to link to our cartoon about the so-called muon g-2 anomaly because it was our first cartoon and it was really good.
