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

Exploring the four fundamental particles photon, electron, quark, and neutrino that make up everything in the universe.

On February 13, 2023, a single subatomic particle zipped across the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Sicily, triggering ...

The most energetic cosmic neutrino, or "ghost particle," ever recorded may be the remnants of a nearby black hole explosion.

The search for sterile neutrinos at ORNL's PROSPECT-I has not found evidence, placing limits on their likelihood and mass.

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter ...

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 ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, ...

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 ...

The Big Bang may have spawned these theoretical black holes, whose lives are thought to end in a burst of extremely energetic particles.

Located in China, Juno is a 17-country collaboration that will try to detect neutrinos and antineutrinos to learn more about their mass.

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 ...
