From its initial proposal by Wolfgang Pauli in 1930 down to the present day, the elusive neutrino has been driving experimental physicists to great lengths to measure its properties.

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 ...

Few physicists have had the privilege of bringing a new elementary particle into the world. When Wolfgang Pauli hit on the idea of the neutrino in 1930, however, internal misgivings tempered his ...

In the physical models we make, there are simple relationships between the distance a neutrino travels, the neutrino energy, and the differences in mass between the different types of neutrinos.

As the title of The Neutrino Hunters suggests, the people who searched for evidence to back up Pauli’s hypothesis, and later for explanations of the new particle’s behaviour, are the book’s main ...

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.

Particle physicists recently searched for a new "sterile" neutrino and came up short, but scientists say that's only the beginning of an exciting discovery.

Pauli suggested the neutrino to explain missing energy in some experiments. In particle physics, energy is the perfect bookkeeping tool: It needs to balance in and out, being conserved to very ...

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.

Early this morning the world learned that the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald for discovering that neutrinos can change from one type to ...

The Nobel Prize is nearly always given for high concept stuff -- and perhaps the physics one most especially. Even for those who are interested and thrilled by the origins and future of the ...
