In 2012, a tiny flash of light was detected deep beneath the Antarctic ice. A burst of neutrinos was responsible, and the flash of light was their calling card. It might not sound momentous, but the ...

If a new proposal by physicists bears out, the recent detection of a record-setting neutrino could be the first evidence of elusive Hawking radiation. (Nanowerk News) The last gasp of a primordial ...

Axions are the most likely candidate for enigmatic dark matter that dominates the universe. Astrophysicists are searching for evidence of high-mass axions produced during supernovae. Scientists ...
