Last week, I introduced Emmy Noether, an extraordinary figure in the fields of mathematics and physics. I outlined how Noether's theorem proves that for every continuous symmetry of a system, there is ...
A mysterious particle from deep space has scientists buzzing after the most energetic neutrino ever detected slammed through the Mediterranean Sea. Now, researchers think they may have identified the ...
The U.S.’s most ambitious particle physics project ever is one step closer to reality. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a giant in both budgetary and basic science terms: A ...
In the exotic world of particle physics, neutrinos may be the most mysterious members. They rarely interact with other matter, have almost no mass, and have no electrical charge. These characteristics ...
ABSTRACT: The origin of the minuscule masses of the known neutrino flavors is an important open question in particle physics. The neutrino-family flavor mass sum is bound by several data-based ...

Neutrinos may be nearly invisible, but they play a starring role in the Universe. Long-standing anomalies had hinted at a mysterious fourth “sterile” neutrino, potentially rewriting the laws of ...
China’s Giant Underground Neutrino Observatory Just Released Its First Results—And They’re Promising
Trillions of neutrinos whiz through our bodies every day, pulsing from the sun, outer space and deep beneath Earth. Yet these elusive subatomic particles have proven difficult to study. That could ...
The results add to physicists’ understanding of neutrinos and validate collaboration between major experiments. The NOνA far detector. Credit: Public domain image from Fermilab. More details here.
Located 700 meters underground near the city of Jiangmen in southern China, a giant sphere—35 meters in diameter and filled with more than 20,000 tons of liquid—has just started a mission that will ...
The neutrino is one of the most common particles in the universe, but you would never know it. In fact, it wasn’t until the 1930s that we even became aware of its existence. Noting that certain ...
