A deep-sea neutrino telescope has detected the most energetic neutrino ever recorded. The particle, known as a "ghost particle," was about 30 times more active than the previous record-holder.

After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a ...

High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...

Independent advances in particle physics, astrophysics, and condensed matter physics have converged on a single conclusion: ...

Scientists prepare to lower equipment used to detect neutrinos into the Mediterranean Sea. (Paschal Coyle, KM3NeT via AP) NEW YORK (AP) — A neutrino detector submerged in the Mediterranean Sea has ...

Earlier this year, an underwater detector in the Mediterranean Sea found the most energetic neutrino to date. And scientists are still talking about it because, well, this discovery could be a really ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions each second. They change identities as they fly, shifting among three known ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the particle many hoped would explain it. An international collaboration of ...

Borexino, a huge underground particle detector in Italy, has picked up a never-before-seen type of neutrino coming from the Sun. These neutrinos confirm a 90-year-old hypothesis and complete our ...

Physicists were left with more questions than answers this week after returning empty-handed following a painstaking search for an elusive theoretical particle called a sterile neutrino. The results ...
