There is strong evidence for a new force of nature, said physicists working on an international science experiment.
Researchers from the UK s Science and Technology Facilities Council cited a much-anticipated result from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, in the US.
The Muon g-2 experiment provided evidence that elementary particles, called muons, are not behaving in the way they are supposed to, according to the leading theory of physics, known as the Standard Model.
It is an exciting time to be a particle physicist. We know that our current understanding of the universe is incomplete

How we found hints of new particles or forces of nature – and why it could change physics
The muon experiment at Fermilab
This article by Professor Themis Bowcock , from the University of Liverpool’Fermilabs Department of Physics and Professor Mark Lancaster at the University of Manchester was first published by The Conversation.
Seven years ago, a huge magnet was transported over 3,200 miles (5,150km) across land and sea, in the hope of studying a subatomic particle called a muon.
Muons are closely related to electrons, which orbit every atom and form the building blocks of matter. The electron and muon both have properties precisely predicted by our current best scientific theory describing the subatomic, quantum world, the standard model of particle physics.
