OXFORD – Researchers are a step closer to having the technology to unravel one of the most mysterious particles in the universe after the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator ...
People went to great lengths, traveling almost 9000 kilometers over more than 60 days, to deliver an essential, 200-ton component of the KATRIN neutrino experiment. In late 2006, a component of the ...
Throughout school and in any physics class, students are told that nothing travels faster than the speed of light. However, that statement might no longer be true because of the neutrino—the particle ...
Every second of every day, trillions of tiny particles called neutrinos are raining down on your head. But unlike raindrops, hailstones, or bird poop, these elementary particles go right through your ...
This neutrino-watchers season preview will give you the rundown on what to expect to come out of neutrino research in the coming years. There’s a lot to look forward to in the world of neutrinos, tiny ...
According to the Standard Model, the leptons and antileptons should all be separate, independent particles from one another. But the three types of neutrino all mix together, indicating they must be ...
Deploying a telescope in space is one thing. Making two of them deep under the sea is a task in a league of its own. On a ship bobbing in the Mediterranean Sea, physicists — not typically known for ...
A neutrino that plowed into the Antarctic ice offers up a cautionary message: Don’t stray too close to the edge of an abyss. The subatomic particle may have been blasted outward when a star was ripped ...
Being a theoretical neutrino physicist, your recent look at efforts to piece together the true nature of neutrinos was inspiring and shows that there are several unsolved problems in particle physics ...
Microboone's 12m-long detector is contained inside a large cryogenic tank, filled with 150 tonnes of liquid argon at -186C A new chapter in physics has opened, according to scientists who have been ...
