Was a neutrino produced by a black hole devouring a star? According to a new study, this isn't the case
According to new estimates, a black hole devouring a star may not have produced enough energy to propel a neutrino A high-energy neutrino blasted into…
Think tiny while looking for sterile neutrinos
Two small-scale experiments may be able to outperform the giant machines chasing new physics evidence—and so enhance cancer therapy.
It's possible that 'mellow' supermassive black holes are producing strange cosmic particles
According to physicists in Japan and the United States, “mellow” supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the centers of some galaxies might be the source of…
