We choose to go to the muon Chemists Mohammad Goli and Shant Shahbazian posit two new light elements. They are muonium (Mu), in which an electron orbits a positively charged muon ( +), and muonic helium (He ), in which an electron orbits a 'nucleus' consisting of an alpha particle and a negative muon.  |

Laser made from single atom The simplest possible laser -- a single atom -- has been on the drawing board for decades. Researchers have finally achieved the extremely precise control needed to make a laser from just one atom. The first demonstration of a single-atom laser showed that it's a different animal -- it produces quantum light.  |
