The Savoy region of France is best known for its fir-lined ski slopes and picturesque Alpine villages. Less known is the fact that, deep beneath some of these slopes, scientists are investigating one ...

An electron antineutrino races to Earth from outer space at nearly the speed of light, carrying 6.3 petaelectronvolts (PeV) of energy. Deep in the ice sheet at the South Pole, this high-energy ...

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

On December 6, 2016, a high-energy particle called an electron antineutrino hurtled to Earth from outer space at close to the speed of light carrying 6.3 petaelectronvolts (PeV) of energy. Deep inside ...

Neutrinos may be the most mysterious particles in the universe. These ghostly entities zip around at nearly the speed of light and can fly through matter easily — a light-year's worth of lead would ...

Results from a new study could explain a mismatch between predictions and recent measurements of ghostly particles streaming from nuclear reactors -- the so-called “reactor antineutrino anomaly” that ...

Each second, more than 10 septillion (10 25) antineutrinos race away from Earth and into space. That’s 100 trillion times as many antineutrinos as stars in the galaxy. But who’s counting? Leave that ...

In a particle collider at CERN, a rarely-seen event is bringing us tantalizingly close to the brink of new physics. From years of running what is known as the NA62 experiment, particle physicist ...

MADISON - On December 6, 2016, a high-energy particle hurtled to Earth from outer space at close to the speed of light. The particle, an electron antineutrino, smashed into an electron deep inside the ...

On December 6, 2016, a high-energy particle hurtled to Earth from outer space at close to the speed of light. It triggered the sensors of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a massive telescope buried ...
