An unusual form of cesium atom is helping a University of Queensland-led research team unmask unknown particles that make up the universe.
Dr. Jacinda Ginges, from UQ’s School of Mathematics and Physics, said the unusual atom—made up of an ordinary cesium atom and an elementary particle called a muon—may prove essential in better understanding the universe’s fundamental building blocks.
“Our universe is still such a mystery to us,” Dr. Ginges said.
