“The mass and the antiparticle nature of neutrinos can be studied by measuring the radioactive beta and double-beta decays of ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, ...

Japan and the U.S. are also building advanced detectors to research mysterious tiny ghost particles called neutrinos.

Neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, and they are everywhere. Every second, more than 6 trillion neutrinos cruise in between the molecules of water and caffeine in your ...

Physicists have placed a new limit on how big the elusive neutrino can be—one of the universe’s smallest known particles—a limit that makes other subatomic particles look as big as black holes by ...

The subatomic particles called neutrinos are famously elusive. But an unconventional trick could make a laser beam of the aloof particles.

As a science reporter for the New York Times, Katrina Miller writes about the universe and how the pursuit of understanding ...

When massive stars reach the end of their lives, something strange and violent happens deep inside them. As they run out of fuel, their cores begin to collapse under their own weight. But this ...

Neutrinos, nearly massless and electrically neutral particles, are abundantly produced in high-energy cosmic events but rarely interact with matter, making detection challenging. Detection relies on ...

In a new study, researchers have taken an important step toward understanding how exploding stars can help reveal how neutrinos, mysterious subatomic particles, secretly interact with themselves. In a ...

One of the Tanganyikan delegates to the U.N. was duly exercised. The U.S., he said, was plotting with South Africa to test atom bombs. He had read all about it in the newspapers. Whatever he had read, ...
