A team of scientists from Canada, the US and the UK announced the results of a unique new measurement of the total number of all known neutrino types reaching the Earth from the Sun. Using data ...

Scientists working at huge underground laboratories in Japan and Canada have made major strides in understanding neutrinos during the last three years. Now a team working with a particle accelerator ...

In a technical tour de force, physicists have spotted long-sought low-energy neutrinos zipping from the sun. The discovery confirms one of the first possible steps in the fusion cycle that helps power ...

Brian Koberlein is bringing the story of science to the world. His Kickstarter project — a television series called Big Science — recently garnered support from astrophysicist and Nobel Prize ...

For almost four decades, astrophysicist John Bahcall and chemist Raymond Davis Jr. struggled to solve a nagging and important mystery in particle physics: How many neutrinos does the sun produce, and ...

Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald received the call from Sweden for their work on the Super-Kamiokande and SNO experiments. The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded this morning to two ...
