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.
What Are Neutrinos and How Do They Work?
Neutrinos are enigmatic subatomic particles produced by a number of nuclear reactions. Their moniker, “small neutral one,” relates to the fact that they are…
Our Universe's History and Inflation
First the universe was expanding, which means that it was getting less dense. Everything was rushing away from everything else because of the principle of…
Neutrinos, the most elusive particles of all, detected by collider
The Large Hadron Collider has succeeded in capturing neutrinos for the first time, marking a major breakthrough in the understanding of this type of particle.
"BOSON CLOUDS," ASTROPHYSICISTS SAY, CAN UNLOCK DARK MATTER SECRETS IF THEY EXIST
DARK MATTER’S NATURE CONTINUES TO PERplex astronomers. It’s easy to dismiss the dark matter idea entirely since the search for dark matter particles continues…
Simulation of large-scale structure development in the Universe that breaks all previous records

A long-standing neutrino conundrum is being investigated
Neutrinos are one of the most enigmatic elements of the Standard Model, a framework for understanding natural basic forces and particles.
Qubits are being used to look for dark matter
David Moore, a Wright Lab assistant professor, and three colleagues from other institutions recently proposed a novel idea of using trapped electrons and…
Estimate measures information encoded in particles, opens door to practical experiments
Researchers have long suspected a connection between information and the physical universe, with various paradoxes and thought experiments used to explore how…
Inside the Mind of a Physics Professor: Neutrinos and Neurons
Physics has worked to discover the best feasible explanations for the behavior of matter and energy in the physical universe at all scales of space and time.
To better understand why matter rules the universe, scientists are looking for ghostly neutrinos
What is a neutrino, and how can one be detected? Georgia Karagiorgi, a physicist at Columbia University and a neutrino hunter, explains and illustrates what…
What Are Fundamental Particles, and How Do They Work?
It is frequently stated that the Ancient Greeks were the first to recognize objects that have no size but are capable of constructing the world around us…
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…
A new observation reveals that neutrinos from neutron stars support supernova explosions
Some supernova explosions represent the final moments of stars that are at least eight times the mass of our Sun.
How and why the Daya Bay experiment contributed to China's neutrino legacy
Ling Xin looks at the impact of the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, which ended recently, on neutrino physics, US–China partnerships, and future…
At the LHC, the first evidence of neutrino interaction has been discovered: these enigmatic particles may provide light on evolution
Because of their minute structure and features, neutrinos have sailed through the particle accelerator unnoticed thus far.
The mysterious vanishing neutrinos that have the potential to upend fundamental physics
Around the world, researchers are looking for exotic ‘Majorana’ particles that could help solve a major antimatter mystery Ettore Majorana, an Italian…
Physicists improve their ability to detect neutrinos in a cosmic haystack
In a “haystack” of particles streaming from space, how do you find a subatomic neutrino? Physicists studying neutrinos with detectors near the Earth’s surface…
What is the best way to make a neutrino beam?
Neutrinos are mysterious particles that are difficult to analyze, yet they may hold the key to unlocking some of the universe’s greatest secrets.
Neutrinos are misfits in the Standard Model
For many years, physicists believed neutrinos were completely compatible with the Standard Model. They don’t, however.
Is the neutrino an antiparticle to itself?
The enigmatic particle may hold the key to understanding why matter triumphed over antimatter in the early universe Almost every particle has an antimatter…
