The IceCube observatory detects possible sources of neutrinos in the galaxy NGC 1068, reinforcing the search for the origin ...

The advance hints at the possibility of portable muon-making devices that could help peer through solid materials for hidden contraband.

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

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 ...

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 ...

Those are the electron, the muon, and the tau neutrino. Each has slightly different characteristics from one another, and they have the ability to shift between the different types, or "oscillate" in ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Physicists with the KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment report the most precise measurement of the upper mass limit of the neutrino to date, establishing it as 0.45 electron volts (eV) — ...
