An artist’s composition of the Milky Way seen with a neutrino lens (blue). Astronomers are hailing a “new lens” they can use to observe the universe after the publishing of this new image (above) of ...

OXFORD – Researchers are a step closer to having the technology to unravel one of the most mysterious particles in the universe after the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator ...

Neutrinos are fundamental particles characterized by no electric charge and very small masses, which are known to interact with other matter via the weak force or gravity. While these particles have ...

Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a unified theory capable of explaining both the infinitely large and the ...

Neutrinos are known for funny business. Now scientists have set a new limit on a quantum trait responsible for the subatomic particles’ quirkiness: uncertainty. The lightweight particles morph from ...

An extraordinary event consistent with a neutrino with an estimated energy of about 220 PeV (220 x 1015 electron volts or 220 million billion electron volts), was detected on February 13, 2023, by the ...

Humble neutrinos — electrically neutral particles that glide through the universe, unaffected by the forces of nature — have helped to shape the cosmos. They play a role in nuclear fusion, radioactive ...

As the youthful universe congealed under the pull of gravity, matter knotted itself into galaxies, galaxy clusters and filaments, weaving a dazzlingly intricate cosmic web. This web’s structure is ...

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.

ON FEBRUARY 13th 2023 an object with extraterrestrial origins went screaming through the Mediterranean Sea off the Sicilian coast. A single, super-energetic subatomic particle left a sparkling trail ...

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 ...
