Where did all the matter in the universe come from? This is one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics, and exciting results released from the international T2K neutrino experiment in Japan ...

The Big Bang created equal amounts of matter and antimatter. So, why is there so much more matter than antimatter in the Universe? Irfu is participating in the preparation of Hyper-Kamiokande, ...

Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

Scientists have been working for several years on an experiment in Japan called T2K, or Tokai to Kamioka Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiment, which studies the most elusive of fundamental ...

Physicists at the T2K experiment in Japan have announced that, for the first time, they have most likely detected the transformation of muon neutrinos into electron neutrinos. With a probability of ...

The Fundamental Physics Prize recognized five collaborations studying neutrino oscillations. Hot on the heels of their Nobel Prize recognition, neutrino oscillations have another accolade to add to ...

We have an intuitive understanding of how the world works. Our intuition works well in our everyday lives, but it doesn't quite match reality. One of the basic assumptions we make about objects is ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 8 (UPI) --The NOvA experiment at Fermilab is already proving a success. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have reported ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I am a writer specializing in physics, astronomy, and related topics. Kajita is one of the leaders of the Super-Kamiokande ...

Two research teams have found new evidence of transformations in elusive elementary particles called neutrinos. The findings may finally help explain why the universe didn’t vanish shortly after its ...
