India's ambitious Neutrino Observatory project in Tamil Nadu lies in limbo after two decades of preparation, facing political and environmental opposi ...
Ben Jones, associate professor of physics at The University of Texas at Arlington, has been named to the 2025 cohort of Experimental Physics Investigators, a distinguished group of mid-career ...
The most energetic cosmic neutrino, or "ghost particle," ever recorded may be the remnants of a nearby black hole explosion.
Neutrinos are very common fundamental particles included in the Standard Model of particle physics. Measuring their properties allows for creating more accurate models of the birth of the universe, ...
Located in China, Juno is a 17-country collaboration that will try to detect neutrinos and antineutrinos to learn more about their mass.
On February 13, 2023, a single subatomic particle zipped across the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Sicily, triggering thousands of sensors. This neutrino, or“ghost particle,” is the most energetic ...
The Big Bang may have spawned these theoretical black holes, whose lives are thought to end in a burst of extremely energetic particles.
Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...
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 ...
Scientists propose a bold new dark matter candidate: the superheavy, charged gravitino, detectable in experiments like JUNO and DUNE.
A tiny particle that smashed into Earth with a record-shattering energy of 220 petaelectronvolts could be the last scream of an evaporating black hole. This would mean that high-energy neutrino events ...
