Neutrino oscillations, a quantum phenomenon in which neutrinos change their flavour during propagation, have long intrigued physicists due to their role in elucidating the mass hierarchy and ...

The award, sponsored by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, provides $1.3 million in funding over five years to each of ...

A decade ago, Art McDonald and his team gained worldwide recognition for a neutrino discovery that helped establish Canada and Queen’s as leaders in physics.

The Big Bang created equal amounts of matter and antimatter. So, why is there so much more matter than antimatter in the Universe? Irfu is participating in the preparation of Hyper-Kamiokande, a ...

Neutrinos are among the most abundant yet least understood particles in the universe. Now, nuclear scientists have measured the tiny energy of lithium atoms recoiling from the emission of neutrinos ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, showers of radiation, and even the building blocks of gold and platinum.

At any given moment, trillions of particles called neutrinos are streaming through our bodies and every material in our surroundings, without noticeable effect. Smaller than electrons and lighter than ...

According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Prize in Physics was to go to "the person who shall have made the most important ...

But what have been the most significant physics prizes of the 21st century? I’m including 2000 as part of this century (ignoring pedants who say it didn’t start till 1 January 2001 ). During that time ...

Physicists have placed a new limit on how big the elusive neutrino can be—one of the universe’s smallest known particles—a limit that makes other subatomic particles look as big as black holes by ...
