Gigantic black holes produce little, ghost-like particles
Blazars, the gas-consuming black holes at the heart of galaxies, may produce the majority of the neutrinos that Earth detects.
What exactly is a Neutrino? What's more, why do they matter?
Neutrinos are teeny-tiny, virtually massless particles that move at speeds close to light.
Is a Super-Massive Black Hole Merger on the Horizon?
A galaxy harboring a pair of supermassive black holes might be in for a rude awakening in the coming months, when the enormous creatures spiral together and…
Is this the strangest telescope in the world?
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Illustration of several optical modules from the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Observatory (P-ONE) underwater neutrino telescope.
Antimatter from another world collides with Earth
It arrived from the furthest reaches of the universe. It was also rather little. In March 2021, astrophysicists announced that the IceCube Neutrino…
The majority of general restrictions on nonstandard neutrino interactions are imposed through analysis
For decades, scientists have claimed that the “Standard Model,” the current best hypothesis for explaining particle physics, is insufficient to explain how…
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…
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…
Under the South Pole, scientists are looking for ‘ghost' particles from space
In a new edition of Motherboard’s “Space Show,” physicists Marcos Santander and Lu Lu explore IceCube (not the rapper).
In the world's deepest lake, Russia has sunk a neutrino observatory
Baikal-GVD will aid scientists in their research into the origins of the universe. Russian scientists sank a series of detectors between 2,500 and 4,300 feet…
Astronomers set traps in Greenland's ice to capture deep-space neutrinos
Radio antennas buried in search of accelerators capable of ejecting the universe’s most energetic particles This week, geologists are drilling boreholes high…
NASA's HEASARC repository now has 10 years of IceCube data available to the public
The IceCube Collaboration has partnered with NASA’s High-Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) to make IceCube data available to the…
IceCube is on display at a museum in Seoul
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is included in a new art–science exhibition at the Hanyang University Museum in Seoul, South Korea. Dr.
