A dying massive star does not go quietly. Its core collapses, matter crashes inward, neutrinos pour out in staggering numbers ...

Particle physicists have gone to great lengths — including rowing onto the dark waters of a swimming pool-sized water tank and setting up a base in the Antarctic — to understand one of the universe’s ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory deal a blow to a theoretical particle known as the sterile neutrino. For more than two decades, this proposed fourth ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Wang Yifang, project manager of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory and director of the Institute of High Energy Physics ...

A new study published in Physical Review Letters by the IceCube Collaboration reports evidence that the energy spectrum of ...

New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new ...

The most energetic "ghost particle" neutrino ever detected may have been blasted at Earth by blazars, black hole engines that ...

Laza Rakotondravohitra was the first Malagasy grad student to conduct research in neutrino physics. He and others are working to ensure he will be far from the last. Miriama Rajaoalisoa had initially ...

An experiment being built at the Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy could provide valuable insights into neutrino physics and the nature of dark matter. Ettore Fiorini of Milan University and colleagues ...

It was over almost as soon as it started, but the momentary flicker was all physicists needed to make the call. The muon collision their detectors picked up was a byproduct of a powerful subatomic ...

A new article provides a new explanation for two recent strange events that occurred in Antarctica -- high-energy neutrinos appearing to come up out of the Earth on their own accord and head skyward.
