Neutrino detectors, like the one used in the BOREXINO collaboration here, generally have an enormous tank that serves as the target for the experiment, where a neutrino interaction will produce ...

The quest to understand the small mass of neutrinos is also a quest to discover new particles. Neutrinos are the byproducts of astronomical events that give us life. They shoot out from the nuclear ...

All throughout the Universe, there's more than what we're capable of seeing. When we look out at the stars moving around within galaxies, the galaxies moving withing groups and clusters, or the ...

For a quarter of a century, Wolfgang Pauli’s prediction remained an educated guess. In 1930, the Austrian physicist predicted the existence of a ghostly new subatomic particle. After observing beta ...

A new estimate of the ghostly particle’s maximum possible mass brings physicists a tad closer to understanding the universe. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller studied neutrinos in graduate school, but ...

DUNE will need lots of neutrinos—and to make them, scientists and engineers will use extreme versions of some common sounding ingredients: magnets and pencil lead. What do you need to make the most ...

New data throws more support behind the theory that neutrinos are the reason the universe is dominated by matter. New data throws more support behind the theory that neutrinos are the reason the ...

In the zoo of subatomic particles, neutrinos are strange beasts. Unlike more familiar particles such as electrons and protons, ghostly neutrinos barely interact with other matter at all: they can fly ...
