Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...
After a decade of construction, the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) ushers in an all-new era of neutrino ...
Neutrinos may be nearly invisible, but they play a starring role in the Universe. Long-standing anomalies had hinted at a ...
After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a long-hypothesized “mystery particle” likely doesn’t exist. Using the MicroBooNE ...
Neutrinos are exceedingly common in the Universe, with billions of them zipping around us throughout the day from a variety of sources. Due to their extremely low mass and no electric charge they ...
High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...
This discovery is important because it ruled out a major possibility for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
Every second of every day, trillions of tiny particles called neutrinos are raining down on your head. But unlike raindrops, hailstones, or bird poop, these elementary particles go right through your ...
Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Physicists have shone a light, so to speak, on a key missing value for neutrino mass.
According to the Standard Model, the leptons and antileptons should all be separate, independent particles from one another. But the three types of neutrino all mix together, indicating they must be ...
