Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

IceCube Neutrino Observatory sits beneath a green aurora in the icy Antarctic Scientists have traced the galactic origins of thousands of "ghost particles" known as neutrinos to create the first-ever ...

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 ...

To understand neutrinos, it pays to be small-minded. The subatomic particles are so lightweight, they’re almost massless. They’re a tiny fraction of the mass of the next lightest particle, the ...

It was over almost as soon as it started, but the momentary flicker was all physicists needed to make the call. The muon collision their detectors picked up was a byproduct of a powerful subatomic ...
