A recent Physical Review Letters publication presents a thorough analysis of MicroBooNE detector data, investigating the anomalous surplus of neutrino-like events detected by the preceding MiniBooNE ...

MIT physicists have proposed a way to make a super sci-fi-sounding device: a neutrino 'laser,' which could help us probe the mysteries of the Universe. Neutrinos are the most abundant particles that ...

Located 700 meters underground near the city of Jiangmen in southern China, a giant sphere—35 meters in diameter and filled with more than 20,000 tons of liquid—has just started a mission that will ...

India’s relationship with mathematics has shaped the very framework of global science. The formalization of zero gave civilization a new way to think about the infinite and the void. Centuries later, ...

The IceCube neutrino telescope at the South Pole detected a single high-energy neutrino in September 2017. Several gamma-ray, x-ray and radio telescopes were used to find its source for the first time ...

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) completed the filling of 20,000 tons of liquid scintillator on Tuesday, commencing official operation and data collection, the state broadcaster ...

At MIT’s Formaggio Lab, Peña’s work may help researchers pinpoint the elusive particle’s mass—and refine the fundamental laws of physics in the process. Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, Junior ...

In February 2023, a cosmic particle detector housed deep in the Mediterranean Sea recorded the arrival of a neutrino with approximately 20 to 30 times more energy than any other neutrino documented ...

Physicist Carlos Argüelles-Delgado gives us an introduction to this one-of-a-kind facility, one of the most successful neutrino detectors in the world. reading time 6 minutes Neutrinos are strange ...

Neutrinos are fundamental particles characterized by no electric charge and very small masses, which are known to interact with other matter via the weak force or gravity. While these particles have ...

To successfully navigate this area, you'll want a good light source. I'd recommend making the Makeshift Headlamp at least, so you can keep your path illuminated as you swim without worrying about ...

On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the detection of tau neutrinos for the first time. Here are a few ideas for celebrating 25 years of the most elusive of elusive ...
