Exploring the four fundamental particles photon, electron, quark, and neutrino that make up everything in the universe.

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

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

The most energetic cosmic neutrino, or "ghost particle," ever recorded may be the remnants of a nearby black hole explosion.

Neutron star collisions are known to be factories in which heavy elements are produced. The fusion that takes place inside stellar cores can only produce elements up to iron; the r-process, or ...

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

The Big Bang may have spawned these theoretical black holes, whose lives are thought to end in a burst of extremely energetic particles.

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 ...

MIT physicists have put forth a strong theoretical case that a recently detected highly energetic neutrino may have been the product of a primordial black hole exploding outside our solar system.
