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 ...

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

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

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, ...

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, ...

The Standard Model, however, assumes neutrinos are without mass. Thus, the 1998 discovery of neutrino oscillation was also the first evidence that neutrinos have mass.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
