Scientists have created the world's thinnest magnet, just one atom thick, which could revolutionize computer memory in the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason.

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can emerge ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

“It is astonishing that human beings can measure anything to such precision,” says Tsutomu Mibe, a particle physicist at ...
