Primordial black holes could rewrite our understanding of dark matter and the early universe. A record-breaking detection at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea has some physicists wondering if we ...

Two enormous telescopes are currently being constructed deep beneath the Mediterranean Sea, off the coasts of France and Italy, with the ambitious goal of detecting one of the universe’s most elusive ...

The verdict is in. The detection of a cosmic neutrino that smashed into Earth with an unprecedented energy level is not a glitch or an error, but a real detection of a real particle. In February 2023, ...

In February of 2023, the Cubic Kilometer Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) detected a neutrino some 35 times higher in energy than any previous detection. A new study posits that this muon might be the ...

An extremely high-energy particle that was spotted tearing through Earth has left scientists flummoxed ever since it was discovered. While many researchers believe the particle was an unusual neutrino ...
