Scientists at CERN spent the last decade waiting for a one-in-ten-billion chance event, and now they’ll spend the next few years figuring out whether it challenges the laws that (we think) govern the ...

Physicists are putting the finishing touches on the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory, or JUNO, which will delve into the secretive ways of neutrinos, a family of extremely lightweight ...

Quantum mechanics features heavily in our readers’ answers here, which also consider if there could be a universe larger than ours, such that ours is a subatomic particle by its standards You seem to ...

It’s the most energetic particle of its kind ever discovered, and scientists have no idea where it came from. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller studied neutrinos of much lower energies at the ...
