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

The IceCube neutrino detector has allowed researchers to resolve a debate about what types of particles make up ...

A particle detector flying above Antarctica has recently caused a stir in the particle physics world after it detected highly unusual radio pulses coming from beneath the ice. The detection has ...

The detector is also sensitive to ultrahigh energy cosmic rays ... who served as colead of the IceCube Neutrino Sources working group between 2019 and 2022. “It’s an interesting problem because we ...

Nearly a decade ago, a detector searching for ghostly cosmic particles found two anomalous signals in Antarctic ice. But scientists haven’t been able to find anything similar.

Scientists have discovered mysterious radio signals emerging from deep beneath Antarctica's ice - and have no idea what's causing them.

Undersea detectors anchored deep in the Mediterranean Sea found an ultra-high-energy neutrino, a particle that opens a new window onto the cosmos.

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is the 800-pound gorilla of large neutrino experiments. It has about 5,000 sensors that have peered intently at a gigaton of ice under the South Pole for over a ...

But to detect them, neutrino physicists have had to build very large experiments. IceCube, one such experiment, documented an especially rare type of particularly energetic astrophysical neutrino in a ...

IceCube, one such experiment, documented an especially rare type of particularly energetic astrophysical neutrino in a study published in April 2024. These energetic neutrinos often masquerade as ...

Tau neutrinos are notoriously difficult to spot in detectors like IceCube. But researchers have managed to isolate 7 candidates.
