He has also contributed to the physics of table top Muon-catalyzed fusion, antimatter formation and annihilation, and artificial intelligence.

Notable projects include Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose Airplane, The Hubble Telescope, the 3.2 million-pound brick Fairmount Hotel, the L.A. Country Museum’s "Levitated Mass" exhibit and Fermilab's g-2 muon accelerator.
PSI and TRIUMF host the two continuous muon sources available for µSR experiments.

Up to now, PSI is the only facility where such low-energy muon beam is available on a regular basis.
Remaining in Italy during World War II, he did fundamental research under difficult conditions in the basement of a high school, which first clarified the nature of the muon.
He was subsequently offered a SERC research fellowship which involved a move to the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford University, he was later awarded a Junior Research Fellowship at Merton College, where he began research in organic magnets and superconductors using muon-spin rotation.
The device is being used extensively in the central tracking detector of the D0 experiment, and for muon cooling studies for a muon collider (MICE).
