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 ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of the universe's mass. Over the past decades, many physicists worldwide have ...

After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a ...

A joint effort between two of the world’s largest neutrino experiments has brought scientists closer to understanding how the universe survived its violent beginnings. The findings could reveal why ...

Thousands of meters underground, in the chthonic depths of Earth's crust, scientists have at long last caught solar neutrinos ...

How did the possibility of sterile neutrinos even become a thing? It all dates back to the so-called “solar neutrino problem.

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter.

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.

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 ...

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 ...
