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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Of the four known fundamental forces of nature, the weak nuclear force is the one with the least obvious purpose. Gravity ...
