In a South Dakota cavern, scientists are working to capture the most elusive particles in the universe. The North Cavern of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, in the Sanford Underground ...

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 ...

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

The detector, known as the Jiangmen Underground neutrino Observatory, or JUNO, is located in between two huge nuclear plants at Yangjian and Taishan. Both of those fission plants create their own ...

Neutrinos are extremely elusive elementary particles. Day and night, 60 billion of them stream from the sun through every square centimeter of Earth every second, which is transparent to them. After ...

At any given moment, trillions of particles called neutrinos are streaming through our bodies and every material in our surroundings, without noticeable effect. Smaller than electrons and lighter than ...

A new estimate of the ghostly particle’s maximum possible mass brings physicists a tad closer to understanding the universe. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller studied neutrinos in graduate school, but ...

Left Panel: When neutrinos scatter with themselves via standard model interactions the collapsing core of the massive star is relatively cold, and the neutrinos are mostly all electron flavor. In this ...

The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, showers of radiation, and even the building blocks of gold and platinum.

The highest energy neutrino ever detected from space may finally have an origin story. Mathematical analyses suggest that the ghost particle could’ve come from a theoretical object known as a ...
