The award, sponsored by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, provides $1.3 million in funding over five years to each of ...

“The mass and the antiparticle nature of neutrinos can be studied by measuring the radioactive beta and double-beta decays of ...

Neutrinos are very common fundamental particles included in the Standard Model of particle physics. Measuring their ...

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

Particle physicists have gone to great lengths — including rowing onto the dark waters of a swimming pool-sized water tank and setting up a base in the Antarctic — to understand one of the universe’s ...

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 ...

Laza Rakotondravohitra was the first Malagasy grad student to conduct research in neutrino physics. He and others are working to ensure he will be far from the last. Miriama Rajaoalisoa had initially ...

A new U.S. Department of Energy project to develop the first detector able to remotely monitor nuclear reactors will also help physicists test the next generation of neutrino observatories. Nuclear ...

Neutrinos remain among the most intriguing particles in nature due to their elusive mass, weak interactions and pervasive presence in the cosmos. Recent experimental breakthroughs have enabled the ...

New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. In December, 1930, a group of physicists convened a meeting in Tübingen ...
