The Savoy region of France is best known for its fir-lined ski slopes and picturesque Alpine villages. Less known is the fact that, deep beneath some of these slopes, scientists are investigating one ...

Neutrinos have long perplexed physicists with their uncanny ability to evade detection, with as many as two-thirds of the ghostly particles apparently going missing en route from the Sun to Earth. Now ...

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, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Every form of matter that we know of in the Universe is made up of the ...

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

Members of the International Daya Bay Collaboration, who track the production and flavor-shifting behavior of electron antineutrinos generated at a nuclear power complex in China, have obtained the ...

Antineutrino search: the NOvA detector in northern Minnesota. (Courtesy: Fermilab/Reidar Hahn) The best evidence yet that muon antineutrinos can change into electron antineutrinos has been found by ...

Neutrino physics lies at the heart of modern astrophysics, offering unique insights into the mechanisms powering some of the Universe’s most energetic events. These nearly massless particles, only ...

The T2K Collaboration has published new results showing the strongest constraint yet on the parameter that governs the breaking of the symmetry between matter and antimatter in neutrino oscillations.

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 ...

Glashow event visualization: each coloured circle shows an IceCube sensor that was triggered by the event; red circles indicate sensors triggered earlier in time, and green-blue circles indicate ...
