Sadly, Nature has chosen to cripple access to the source article on this story - so not linking to it.
Uh the paper is linked in the article and I had no issue accessing it https://journals.aps.org/prab/pdf/10.1103/kxjr-h7zs
Wow, super cool! So I take it they’re not good for medical imaging? Either go right through too easily to cast a shadow or harmful in some way? The truck scanner stuff is cool though, albeit a bit surveillancey. I’m sure archaeologists would love to have portable muon tomography though! I wonder what else this will end up being used for… Seems like there’s surely lots of possibilities left.
If we have a way of making muons, does that mean muon-catalyzed fusion is feasible?
Great question. Talking this very point out right now after finding this article.
Getting closer to Black Mesa technology :3
Maybe this could help get us closer to viable muon catalyzed fusion.
Anything that would be useful for smaller laboratories is a good thing.
I read that as “beans” at first and was very confused
