Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in ...

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 ...

Neutrinos are one of the most enigmatic particles in the standard model. The main reason is that they're so hard to detect. Despite the fact that 400 trillion of them created in the sun are passing ...

A new study suggests that the influence of dark energy on the universe is not constant, as previously believed, but rather changes over time. The findings, based on newly collected astrophysical data, ...

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 a new study, scientists began pondering a pretty wild question: What if black holes can convert dead star matter into dark energy, the mystery force driving the acceleration of the expansion of the ...

Left: A key figure from the report, exploring what the cosmologically coupled black holes, or CCBH, hypothesis implies about the mass of neutrinos, or "ghost particles." Right: An annotation of this ...

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 ...

On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the detection of tau neutrinos for the first time. Here are a few ideas for celebrating 25 years of the most elusive of elusive ...

The neutrino is a notorious troublemaker in the world of particle physics. This tiny, elusive particle with no electric charge likely permeates every corner of the universe, but you’d be hard-pressed ...
