The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Neutrinos may be nearly invisible, but they play a starring role in the Universe. Long-standing anomalies had hinted at a ...

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 ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

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.

We live in a sea of neutrinos. Every second, trillions of them pass through our bodies. They come from the sun, nuclear reactors, collisions of cosmic rays hitting Earth’s atmosphere, even the Big ...

Of all the particles that we know of, the elusive neutrino is by far the most difficult to explain. We know there are three types of neutrino: the electron neutrino (ν e), the muon neutrino (ν μ), and ...

Neutrino detectors don’t grow on trees. Or do they? Forests could one day be used to spot ultra-high-energy neutrinos, a physicist proposes. Trees could act as natural antennas that pick up radio ...
