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

A physics experiment turned up no signs that the elusive particles called Majorana neutrinos exist, according to a new study published in Nature today, but that doesn’t mean it won’t lead to new ...

For years now, an international team of researchers has hidden themselves deep beneath a mountain in central Italy, tirelessly collecting the most sensitive measurements from the coldest cubic meter ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., March 26, 2018-- If equal amounts of matter and antimatter had formed in the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago, one would have annihilated the other upon meeting, and today's ...

Scientists analyzed each element of the neutrino mass matrix belonging to leptons and showed theoretically that the intergenerational mixing of lepton flavors is large. Furthermore, by using the ...

It's not yet clear whether the neutrino is a Majorana particle — that is, identical to its antiparticle. The answer could be found in the neutrinoless double-beta decay: a hypothetical radioactive ...

Microsoft on Wednesday announced Majorana 1, its first quantum computing chip. The achievement comes after the company has ...

Galaxies, stars, planets and life, all are formed from one essential substance: matter. But the abundance of matter is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries of physics. The Big Bang, 13.8 billion ...

This stylish chap is looking for an incredibly rare nuclear process called neutrinoless double beta decay. The picture was taken deep under a mountain at Italy’s Gran Sasso National Laboratory, which ...

Scientists have shown they can shield a sensitive, scalable 44-kilogram germanium detector array from background radioactivity. This accomplishment is critical to developing and proposing a much ...
