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

This discovery is important because it ruled out a major possibility for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

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 ...

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

Physicists are closing in on one of the most persistent mysteries in particle physics: whether a hidden kind of neutrino is ...

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 ...

Physicists at the Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope Initiative, KM3NeT, built a cathedral of glass spheres that listens for ...

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.

Miniscule, invisible neutrino particles are ubiquitous but nearly impossible to catch. They fly though the Earth—and us—every moment, by the billions. They are the smallest known matter particles in ...

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 ...
