Measurement of the muon\u2019s precession and relaxation provides an insight into how it interacts with its local environment. From this, unique information is obtained about the static and dynamic properties of the material of interest. This has enabled muon spin spectroscopy, more commonly known as muon spin rotation\/relaxation\/resonance (\u03bcSR), to develop into a powerful tool to investigate material properties such as fundamental magnetism, superconductivity and functional materials. Alongside this, \u03bcSR may be used to study, for example, energy storage<br>materials, ionic diffusion in potential batteries, the dynamics of soft matter, free radical chemistry, reaction kinetics, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing and cultural artefacts. This Primer is intended as an introductory article and introduces the \u03bcSR technique, the typical results obtained and some recent advances across various fields. Data reproducibility and limitations are also discussed, before highlighting promising future developments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DOI: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s43586-021-00089-0\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s43586-021-00089-0<\/a><br>Ref: A.D.
