The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has detected a "high-energy neutrino emission from within the Milky Way," according to AAAS. Credit: IceCube Collaboration/Science Communication Lab for SFB 1491 ...

The most energetic cosmic neutrino, or "ghost particle," ever recorded may be the remnants of a nearby black hole explosion.

About a trillion tiny particles called neutrinos pass through you every second. Created during the Big Bang, these “relic” neutrinos exist throughout the entire universe, but they can’t harm you. In ...

Ever since French physicist Pierre Auger proposed in 1939 that cosmic rays must carry incredible amounts of energy, scientists have puzzled over what could be producing these powerful clusters of ...

For the first time, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has produced an image of the Milky Way using neutrinos -- tiny, ghostlike astronomical messengers. The Milky Way galaxy is an awe-inspiring feature ...

In an effort to fill in the blanks of the Standard Model of particle physics, science has been conducting a diligent search for a hypothesized particle known as the "sterile neutrino." In an effort to ...

Every second, billions of subatomic particles wash over our bodies without interacting with us. While most of these particles are produced by the sun, the most powerful ones come from outside our ...

With the IceCube detector now in operation at the South Pole, the first results are starting to come in, and boy are they interesting. IceCube monitors a volume of one cubic kilometer of ice for muons ...
