Neutrinos are one of the most mysterious particles in the universe, often called "ghost particles" because they rarely ...

After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a ...

How did the possibility of sterile neutrinos even become a thing? It all dates back to the so-called “solar neutrino problem.

The Universe should not exist. At least, not according to simple physics. After the Big Bang, equal parts matter and antimatter should have formed, then wiped each other out in flashes of energy.

Why does the Universe exist instead of having been annihilated shortly after its birth? This fundamental question in physics ...

Australian researchers have played a central role in a landmark result from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment in South ...

A joint effort between two of the world’s largest neutrino experiments has brought scientists closer to understanding how the universe survived its violent beginnings. The findings could reveal why ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter.

A team including physicists has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider, namely at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The discovery promises to ...

According to the Standard Model, the leptons and antileptons should all be separate, independent particles from one another. But the three types of neutrino all mix together, indicating they must be ...

In a cosmos filled with darkness, scientists say they’ve discovered the first elusive neutrinos to come from outside our solar system in a quarter-century. The groundbreaking discovery made beneath ...

Every form of matter that we know of in the Universe is made up of the same few fundamental particles: the quarks, leptons and bosons of the Standard Model. Quarks and leptons bind together to form ...
