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 ...

Neutrinos are among the strangest known particles, so lightweight that trillions pass through your body every second without a trace. However, for all their invisibility, they carry a mystery that’s ...

The decades-long search for dark matter could ultimately end in an impasse. This mysterious substance that is thought to hold galaxies together should also surround and even stream through our bodies.

In a South Dakota cavern, scientists are working to capture the most elusive particles in the universe. The North Cavern of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, in the Sanford Underground ...

Located in a cubic kilometer of ice at the South Pole, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory is designed to detect high-energy neutrinos from far beyond our galaxy. Scientists believe these nearly massless ...

Located in China, Juno is a 17-country collaboration that will try to detect neutrinos and antineutrinos to learn more about their mass.

At MIT’s Formaggio Lab, Peña’s work may help researchers pinpoint the elusive particle’s mass—and refine the fundamental laws of physics in the process. Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, Junior ...

To say that neutrinos aren’t the easiest particles to study would be a bit of an understatement. Outside of dark matter, there’s not much in particle physics that is as slippery as the elusive “ghost ...

A new estimate of the ghostly particle’s maximum possible mass brings physicists a tad closer to understanding the universe. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller studied neutrinos in graduate school, but ...
