Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...
In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.
New optical modules have now been added to the IceCube Observatory, allowing it to measure lower-energy neutrinos as well.
A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...
IceCube's new UV-sensitive modules are expected to reveal neutrinos from distant galaxies, supernovae and other cosmic sources.
The photograph, titled “Underwater Hunting,” was a finalist for the 2025 Global Physics Photowalk. The competition, held ...
The 'IceCube,' a giant science experiment revealing the secrets of the universe's fundamental particle, the 'neutrino,' from under 2 km of Antarctic ice, has been upgraded approximately 15 years after ...
Scott South Pole Station has been delivering groundbreaking measurements of high-energy cosmic neutrinos. It consists of many detectors embedded in a volume of Antarctic ice measuring approximately ...
The earliest black holes in the universe may not have disappeared from Hawking radiation after all, new research hints. Instead, they fed on the energy of the ancient cosmos to grow supermassive.
Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

Since 2010, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has been searching for high-energy neutrinos from space. In recent years, it has already provided important insights into the nature of these particles and ...
