In this video I test out my new supersonic ping pong ball vacuum cannon. I show a little bit about how one of these is made and the theory behind how we can get to supersonic speeds with a cannon like ...

Assistant Professor Haocun Yu is something of a scientific diplomat. In a recent Physical Review Letters publication, she and her colleagues show how a tabletop experiment can bring together two ...

Physicists now have a brand-new measurement of a property of the muon called the anomalous magnetic moment that improves the precision of their previous result by a factor of 2. An international ...

A tiny elementary particle called the muon has won a big prize: the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. Researchers with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory—which is affiliated with the ...
