Particle physicists have gone to great lengths — including rowing onto the dark waters of a swimming pool-sized water tank and setting up a base in the Antarctic — to understand one of the universe’s ...

More than 200 physicists gathered in Liverpool from 1 to 6 September 2025 for the 26th International Workshop on Neutrinos ...

Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

Neutrinos remain among the most intriguing particles in nature due to their elusive mass, weak interactions and pervasive presence in the cosmos. Recent experimental breakthroughs have enabled the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. In December, 1930, a group of physicists convened a meeting in Tübingen ...

Collaborative experiments focus on uncovering the unusual properties of the ghost particle. In a recent study, physicists have created the clearest and most detailed view so far of how neutrinos shift ...

Neutrinos, often referred to as “ghost particles,” are subatomic entities that can pass through the densest of materials, ...

Laza Rakotondravohitra was the first Malagasy grad student to conduct research in neutrino physics. He and others are working to ensure he will be far from the last. Miriama Rajaoalisoa had initially ...

Michelle Dolinski, PhD, has a background in nuclear and particle physics, specializing in experimental neutrino physics. Neutrinos, while difficult to study in the laboratory, may be the key to ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory deal a blow to a theoretical particle known as the sterile neutrino. For more than two decades, this proposed fourth ...

Teppei Katori and Pierre Lasorak at Queen Mary University of London have studied data from the the T2K neutrino experiment in Japan to search for signs of single gamma-ray emission from neutrino ...

New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new ...
