In the exotic world of particle physics, neutrinos may be the most mysterious members. They rarely interact with other matter ...

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the standard model.

Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take ...

An unprecedented neutrino detection in the Mediterranean has pushed the boundaries of high-energy astrophysics, raising new ...

The water is ultrapure, a crucial requirement to perform the sophisticated work that goes on there. We have come across ...

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 ...

Wichita State University’s SNAPPY CubeSat, a solar detector prototype, will launch into low Earth orbit on May 3 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The mission will test the ...

Researchers in the United States have proposed a completely new kind of laser—one that ...

Suspended near the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea off France and Italy, 126 football-sized glass spheres are already using the ocean itself as an instrument to search for signals from dark matter, ...

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 ...

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 ...
