Located in China, Juno is a 17-country collaboration that will try to detect neutrinos and antineutrinos to learn more about their mass.
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 ...
When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, ...
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 ...
New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how ...
According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Prize in Physics was to go to "the person who shall have made the most important ...
Something in Antarctica is sending signals, and NASA has detected signs of a powerful presence hidden beneath one of the ...
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 ...
Wang Yifang, from the Chinese Academy of Sciences which collaborated with 700 physicists worldwide, told The Times: “We are going to know the hierarchy of the neutrino mass, and by knowing this, we ...
The last gasp of a primordial black hole may be the source of the highest-energy "ghost particle" detected to date, a new MIT study proposes. In a paper appearing today in Physical Review Letters, MIT ...
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 ...
