High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...

Neutrinos are one of the most mysterious particles in the universe, often called "ghost particles" because they rarely interact with anything else. Trillions stream through our bodies every second, ...

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.

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

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
