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 ...
After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a ...
Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter.
Scientists have taken a major step towards finding elusive types of tiny, 'ghost-like' particles, and potentially new physics. For the first time, neutrinos have been spotted by the Short-Baseline ...
Neutrinos are low-mass subatomic particles with zero electric charge that interact with matter only via the weak nuclear force and gravity. This makes neutrinos difficult to detect, despite the fact ...
After years of searching, scientists at the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have ruled out the possibility 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 ...
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.
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 ...
Neutrinos are tiny and neutrally charged particles accounted for by the Standard Model of particle physics. While they are estimated to be some of the most abundant particles in the universe, ...
Sparse halos of neutrinos within the hearts of exploding stars exert a previously unrecognized influence on the physics of the explosion and may alter which elements can be forged by these violent ...
Neutrinos are some of the strangest particles we have encountered so far. About 100 billion of them are going through every square centimeter on Earth per second but their interaction rate is so low ...
