New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory deal a blow to a theoretical particle known as the sterile neutrino. For more than two decades, this proposed fourth ...

Physicists have caught ghostly particles called neutrinos misbehaving at an Illinois experiment, suggesting an extra species of neutrino exists. If borne out, the findings would be nothing short of ...

Physicists searching for evidence of a “light sterile neutrino”, a hypothetical particle that could give clues to cosmic puzzles such as the nature of dark matter and why the Universe is made of ...

LAS CRUCES - A New Mexico State University professor is part of an international research team that recently released the results of an experiment that may support a theory for a fourth fundamental ...

Left: A key figure from the report, exploring what the cosmologically coupled black holes, or CCBH, hypothesis implies about the mass of neutrinos, or "ghost particles." Right: An annotation of this ...

Dark matter has bewildered scientists for centuries. It makes up most of the universe’s matter, but it can’t be seen directly. Now, a group of scientists worldwide think they’ve found an unexpected ...

Borexino, a huge underground particle detector in Italy, has picked up a never-before-seen type of neutrino coming from the Sun. These neutrinos confirm a 90-year-old hypothesis and complete our ...
