The advance hints at the possibility of portable muon-making devices that could help peer through solid materials for hidden contraband.

Laser plasma device could be light enough to be used on the field.

Researchers have developed a muon-based approach to non-destructive investigations for unique asteroid samples, report scientists. Japanese researchers from Osaka University have developed a ...

The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment has achieved its goal of squeezing a beam of muons before they decay. Scientists have announced a breakthrough that could be key to the creation of a powerful ...

A new technique has taken the first images of muon particle beams. Scientists plan to use it to assess the quality of these beams, which are being used more and more in advanced imaging applications.

The Space Force has awarded Muon Space $44.6 million to develop and build a space-based environmental monitoring prototype that can assist mission planners while also being used as wildfire detection.

Muon has much higher transmissivity than electrons and X-rays. This feature of muon has enabled us to see through volcanoes, pyramids, and nuclear reactors with cosmic-ray induced natural muons. The ...

The fact that we are here at all is one of the greatest puzzles of physics. We are made from normal particles such as electrons, but every such particle also has an antimatter companion that is ...
