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

Neutrinos—ghostly particles that rarely interact with normal matter—are the sun's secret messengers. These particles are born deep within the sun, a byproduct of the nuclear fusion process which ...

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

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

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 ...

A neutrino sensor array, ARCA, lines the Mediterranean seafloor near Sicily. A physicist took ARCA’s first huge win to a warm ...

The neutrino is a notorious troublemaker in the world of particle physics. This tiny, elusive particle with no electric charge likely permeates every corner of the universe, but you’d be hard-pressed ...

The last gasp of a primordial black hole may be the source of the highest-energy "ghost particle" detected to date, a new MIT study proposes.

Physicists have caught neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a device weighing just a few kilograms, orders of magnitude less massive than standard neutrino detectors. The technique opens new ways to ...

Astrophysicists have observed the most energetic neutrino ever. The particle — which probably came from a distant galaxy — was spotted by the Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT), a collection ...

Neutrinos are known to have tiny masses. A new result proclaims the subatomic particles to be even tinier still. Neutrinos are the only class of fundamental particle for which the mass, one of the ...
