Strongest ever magnetic field fails to make predicted exotic particles

Researchers have used the strongest magnetic field ever measured to search for exotic particles called magnetic monopoles, but they came up empty

Strange muon behaviour hints at mysterious new particles and forces

Particles called muons spin slightly faster than our best models of physics predict, which may mean that there are more particles and forces that we haven't yet discovered
