The research hinges on the detection of the muons that occur as cosmic rays interact with the Earth's atmosphere, but which can penetrate several kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. It's thought that the approach could save significant amounts of money compared to alternative techniques. <a href="/web/20130930144939/http://www.gizmag.com/carbon-sequestration-muon-tomography/25133/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="23897"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20130930144939/http://www.gizmag.com/science/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">SCIENCE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130930144939/http://www.gizmag.com/standard-model-particle-physics-unexpected-particle/23897/">Who ordered that?

However, in 1936 the muon was discovered - a new particle having such surprising properties that Nobel laureate I.I. Rabi quipped "Who ordered that?" when informed of the discovery. Evidence that a new light boson may exist has recently been published. If the discovery is confirmed, such a boson is not part of the Standard Model of Particle Physics - potentially leading to another "Who ordered that?" moment for physicists. <a href="/web/20130930144939/http://www.gizmag.com/standard-model-particle-physics-unexpected-particle/23897/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="23319"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20130930144939/http://www.gizmag.com/researchwatch/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">RESEARCH WATCH</a> <a class="article_label" href="/web/20130930144939/http://www.gizmag.com/features/">FEATURE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130930144939/http://www.gizmag.com/higgs-boson-cern-alternative-particle/23319/">Is it or isn't it?
