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 ...

A recent Physical Review Letters publication presents a thorough analysis of MicroBooNE detector data, investigating the anomalous surplus of neutrino-like events detected by the preceding MiniBooNE ...

Located 700 meters underground near the city of Jiangmen in southern China, a giant sphere—35 meters in diameter and filled with more than 20,000 tons of liquid—has just started a mission that will ...

At MIT’s Formaggio Lab, Peña’s work may help researchers pinpoint the elusive particle’s mass—and refine the fundamental laws of physics in the process. Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, Junior ...

In February 2023, a cosmic particle detector housed deep in the Mediterranean Sea recorded the arrival of a neutrino with approximately 20 to 30 times more energy than any other neutrino documented ...

Physicist Carlos Argüelles-Delgado gives us an introduction to this one-of-a-kind facility, one of the most successful neutrino detectors in the world. reading time 6 minutes Neutrinos are strange ...

Neutrinos are fundamental particles characterized by no electric charge and very small masses, which are known to interact with other matter via the weak force or gravity. While these particles have ...

An extremely high-energy neutrino, the most powerful ever detected, was found. This neutrino likely originated from a cosmic event, possibly a supermassive black hole. Its unusual path suggests it may ...

Neutrinos are sometimes called “ghost particles,” because they are nearly weightless, rarely interact with any other matter, and have very little electric charge. Now, scientists have discovered a ...
