The discovery of the Higgs boson hasn’t led to an explosion of new physics as many predicted. Now, some scientists think that ...

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

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 ...

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, ...

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

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

Oct. 12, 2021 — Experiments have spotted anomalies hinting at a new type of neutrino, one that would go beyond the standard model of particle physics and perhaps open a portal to the dark sector ...

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) ...

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, ...

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 ...

The result could be a consequence of quantum gravity, dark matter, or a broken neutrino oscillation model—or just the still-blurry physics of cosmic neutrino production.

A new kind of neutrino that's abundant in life on Earth could explain a major anomaly in particle physics—and help us find dark matter.
