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

To understand neutrinos, it pays to be small-minded. The subatomic particles are so lightweight, they’re almost massless. They’re a tiny fraction of the mass of the next lightest particle, the ...

Deploying a telescope in space is one thing. Making two of them deep under the sea is a task in a league of its own. On a ship bobbing in the Mediterranean Sea, physicists — not typically known for ...

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 ...

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 ...

Neutrinos are one of the most enigmatic particles in the standard model. The main reason is that they're so hard to detect. Despite the fact that 400 trillion of them created in the sun are passing ...

Scientists from the University of Washington and other institutions around the world say they’ve reduced the upper limit for the mass of the neutrino by half. Thanks to findings from the Karlsruhe ...

The Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory in Japan has received a relatively simple upgrade that should allow it to look further back in time. A rare-earth element called gadolinium has been added to ...

Neutrino detector finds new type of "ghost particle" from the Sun By Michael Irving December 01, 2020 The giant nylon balloon of the Borexino neutrino detector in Italy measures around 30 ft (9 m) in ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. We know that they oscillate — or transform — from one type into another ...
