The LHC and the Muon G2 Experiment Have Discovered New and Surprising Physics
The Higgs boson was a huge accomplishment, but no supersymmetry observations emerged from any of the experiments that happened afterwards. I am actually not in the community of people who think that Susie is dead and shouldn't be studied anymore. Even though the LHC hasn't found any superpowers yet, it has come across a strange anomaly lately. The muon G2 experiment recently investigated how muons wobble when magnetic fields interact with their spin. It found a small but significant deviation from some theoretical predictions suggesting unknown forces or particles may be at work.
