The electron is a key player in this quest: its magnetic moment is both the most precisely measured elementary-particle property and the most accurately verified standard model prediction to date. New measurements by Gerald Gabrielse\u2019s group at Northwestern University in Illinois [1] have determined the value of the electron\u2019s magnetic moment 2.2 times more accurately than the previous best estimate, which was obtained in 2008 [2].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Measurements of the magnetic moment of the electron have achieved unprecedented accuracy, showing great potential for the search for physics beyond the standard model.
