Early Tuesday morning, the Nobel Committee announced that two scientists, Takaaki Kajita of Japan and Arthur McDonald of Canada, won the Nobel Prize in physics for their experiments in neutrino ...
The world’s largest neutrino detector just got even more powerful after scientists successfully deployed ...
The KM3NeT collaboration is a large research group involved in the operation of a neutrino telescope network in the deep ...
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 ...
The results of a high-profile Fermilab physics experiment appear to confirm strange 20-year-old findings that poke holes in the standard model, suggesting the existence of a new elementary particle: a ...
Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the particle many hoped would explain it. An international collaboration of ...
Neutrino physics lies at the heart of modern astrophysics, offering unique insights into the mechanisms powering some of the Universe’s most energetic events. These nearly massless particles, only ...
Laza Rakotondravohitra was the first Malagasy grad student to conduct research in neutrino physics. He and others are working to ensure he will be far from the last. Miriama Rajaoalisoa had initially ...
A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. In December, 1930, a group of physicists convened a meeting in Tübingen ...
New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new ...
In some ways, the Standard Model of physics is an intellectual triumph, predicting the existence of a particle—the Higgs boson—decades before we developed the technology to actually detect its ...
