The 2026 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics was awarded to researchers who measured the magnetic "wobble" of the muon subatomic particle with exceptional precision over more than 60 years of experiments. The results seemingly confirm the standard model of particle physics, though mysteries remain regarding why two independent calculation methods disagree significantly on the model's predictions.
