About a trillion tiny particles called neutrinos pass through you every second. Created during the Big Bang, these “relic” neutrinos exist throughout the entire universe, but they can’t harm you. In ...

IceCube sits on tons of clear ice, allowing scientists to make out neutrino interactions. Cmichel67/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA About a trillion tiny particles called neutrinos pass through you every ...

Researchers at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica have found seven signals that could potentially indicate tau neutrinos—which are famously hard to detect—from astrophysical objects. In ...

For the first time, physicists have confirmed that certain subatomic particles have mass and that they could account for a large proportion of matter in the universe, the so-called dark matter that ...

Millions of barely perceptible “ghost” particles called neutrinos fly through our bodies at every second. With almost zero mass and no charge, these particles don’t even so much as tickle us. They do, ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, ...

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

Highly energetic: visualization of the light gathered from the 2.6 PeV event in IceCube. The image shows a portion of the vertical strings of photomultipliers that make up the detector array.

Theoretical physicists calculate the origin of a high-energy particle track captured by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. It was just eight years ago that the IceCube detector, a research center ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Neutrinos are perhaps the most puzzling of the known particles. They simply flout all the known ...

Neutrino detectors don’t grow on trees. Or do they? Forests could one day be used to spot ultra-high-energy neutrinos, a physicist proposes. Trees could act as natural antennas that pick up radio ...
