True muonium was first theorized more than 50 years ago, but until now no one had uncovered an unambiguous method by which it could be created and observed. “We don't usually work in this area, but one day we were idly talking about how experimentalists could create exotic states of matter,” says SLAC theorist Stanley Brodsky, who worked with Arizona State's Richard Lebed on the result. “As our conversation progressed, we realized 'Gee…we just figured out how to make true muonium.'”…
