A dying massive star does not go quietly. Its core collapses, matter crashes inward, neutrinos pour out in staggering numbers ...
Sparse halos of neutrinos within the hearts of exploding stars exert a previously unrecognized influence on the physics of the explosion and may alter which elements can be forged by these violent ...
A team including physicists has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider, namely at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The discovery promises to ...
A new study published in Physical Review Letters by the IceCube Collaboration reports evidence that the energy spectrum of ...
When a star gets too close to a black hole, sparks fly. And, potentially, so do subatomic particles called neutrinos. A dramatic light show results when a supermassive black hole rips apart a wayward ...
Neutrinos are among the strangest known particles, so lightweight that trillions pass through your body every second without a trace. However, for all their invisibility, they carry a mystery that’s ...
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 ...
One of the Tanganyikan delegates to the U.N. was duly exercised. The U.S., he said, was plotting with South Africa to test atom bombs. He had read all about it in the newspapers. Whatever he had read, ...

New research has broken an important 'barrier' in neutrino physics which is relevant for both particle physics and cosmology. A new upper limit of 0.8 electronvolt (eV) for the mass of the neutrino ...
The 2015 Nobel prize in physics has been announced - congratulations Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald. This award recognises their work on neutrinos, specifically "for the discovery of neutrino ...
