How to See Inside Anything
You might think of x-rays as the go-to particle to see through solid objects. But there's a subatomic particle out there that can see through everything from volcanos to lead shielding in nuclear reactors. It's called a muon, and...

The Experiment That May Have Broken Physics | SciShow News
Researchers have made some unexpected readings of mysterious particles called muons, which may make us reexamine the Standard Model in physics.

How To Make MUONS
This video is about how to create muons in a particle accelerator via bombardment of heavy nuclei with protons, which results in creation of charged pions (plus and minus). The pions then decay into muons and mu neutrinos, and the muons...

Legitimate Cold Fusion Exists | Muon-Catalyzed Fusion
This video is about the original cold fusion: μ muon-catalyzed cold fusion of deuterium, tritium, hydrogen, into helium-3 and helium 4. The problems with it are the half-life of muons and the sticking of muons to alpha particles. Also...

TED-Ed: What’s the smallest thing in the universe? - Jonathan Butterworth
If you were to take a coffee cup, and break it in half, then in half again, and keep carrying on, where would you end up? Could you keep on going forever? Or would you eventually find a set of indivisible building blocks out of which...

Will A New Neutrino Change The Standard Model?
Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, physicists have searched and searched for any hint of new particles. That search has been fruitless. Until, perhaps, now. Today on Space Time Journal Club we'll look at a paper that reports a...

Why Do Neutrinos Have Mass? A Small Question with Huge Consequences
Neutrinos are weird. But all the big unsolved problems in physics are somehow connected to one unsolved mystery: Why do neutrinos have mass?
