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 ...

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 ...

New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange themselves into orderly, but nonrepeating, ...

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

Durham researchers Dark energy and black holes are possibly two of the most elusive concepts ever analyzed by experts. A ...

Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...

Both of those fission plants create their own artificial neutrinos in addition to the ones created by the sun, meaning the general area should be awash with barely interacting particles. That's ...

Could black holes help explain the origins of high-energy cosmic radiation? The universe is filled with many forms of ...

Einstein’s version of dark energy is known as the cosmological constant. It implies a fixed amount of dark energy in each ...

We previously covered one such “gravity telescope” with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Another one is the Japanese project Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA).

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 ...
