The name "IceCube" not only serves as the title of the experiment, but also describes its appearance. Embedded in the transparent ice of the South Pole, a three-dimensional grid of more than 5,000 ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved.

University of Chicago researchers have begun examining data collected by a device transported by a NASA balloon that flew ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – In a new analysis, physicists provide the most precise picture yet of how neutrinos change ‘flavor’ as they travel through the cosmos. Neutrinos are fundamental particles of the ...

Neutrinos are very small, neutral subatomic particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter and are thus sometimes ...

The neutrino is now central to elementary particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. Neutrinos play a key role in theories that unify the elementary particles and forces. They yield clues about ...
