This review of the physics and chemistry of muonium and the ..mu../sup +/ meson includes experiments on the weak interaction, investigation of the properties of solids by means of ..mu../sup +/ mesons, and problems of the chemistry of the hydrogen-like atom muonium. A new phenomenon is described: the two-frequency precession of muonium, and a means is presented for determination of the contact magnetic field at the ..mu../sup +/ meson in ferromagnetic materials. The theory of depolarization of ..mu../sup +/ mesons in matter is presented. Results are given of chemical reactions of muonium.
