Back when it was theorized, scientists weren’t sure they would ever detect the neutrino; now they’re searching for a version of the particle that could be even more elusive. In Germany in 1930, a ...

The program: relates how the neutrino first came to be theorized by physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1930. notes the challenge of studying a particle with no electric charge.

Weighing in: Physicists cut upper limit on neutrino’s mass in half First results from the KATRIN experiment are based on just 28 days of data.

(Pauli predicted the neutrino existed because energy is conserved in reactions. Other scientists were able to predict the number of neutrinos they should be able to detect, because they know ...

Pauli's particle, which was calculated to have a tiny mass was, later, called the "little neutral one" by Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, i.e., the "neutrino.") ...

Here’s how the lowly neutrino saved the entire field. At the turn of the last century, the Curies came up with the term “radiation” as a description of the recently-discovered becquerel rays.

In Germany in 1930, a group of scientists held a conference on nuclear physics, and they invited Wolfgang Pauli. The Austrian physicist was known as the originator of the Pauli exclusion principle, ...

Still, there's no such thing as a free neutrino. Is South Dakota investing in science wisely or, as Pauli put it, have we "done something very bad"?

A new result from the MicroBooNE neutrino experiment has dashed hopes for a neat resolution to several puzzles for physicists.
