Neutrinos, ghostly particles barely interacting with matter, may secretly be reshaping the fates of massive stars. New ...

Neutrinos are elementary particles that are predicted to be massless by the standard model of particle physics, yet their observed oscillations suggest that they do in fact have a mass, which is very ...

When massive stars reach the end of their lives, something strange and violent happens deep inside them. As they run out of ...

Microsoft created what was called a Neutrino Model, named possibly in relation to Project Atom, the codename for the ZeniMax acquisition. This model included a sliding scale from 1-5, ...

On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the detection of tau neutrinos for the first time. Here are a ...

Collapsing stars might act as cosmic laboratories for discovering hidden neutrino interactions. Neutrinos are among the most puzzling particles in the universe. Nearly massless and incredibly elusive, ...

Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun.

According to the neutrino mixing theory of the Standard Model, the probability that a neutrino of one flavor changes to another can be determined by dividing the distance a neutrino travels (L) ...

With the world's most sensitive neutrino scale, physicists analyzed a flood of data to determine that the elusive particle is no heftier than 0.8 electron-volts (eV), the first time an experiment ...

What exactly is a neutrino? But let’s take a step back first to understand neutrinos as science already knows it. Literally meaning “little neutron,” as named by Italian physicist Wolfgang ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine.. Of the 100 trillion neutrinos that pass through you every second, most come from the sun or Earth’s atmosphere. But a smattering ...
