WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

For more than a decade, physicists have argued (and counter-argued) that a subatomic particle can be separated from certain quantum properties, such as its spin—a phenomenon known as the Cheshire cat ...
