After years of searching, scientists at the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have ruled out the possibility of ...

There, over six years, neutrinos from two separate particle beams were studied by MicroBooNE, a state-of-the-art detector ...

Knotted structures once imagined by Lord Kelvin may actually have shaped the universe’s earliest moments, according to new ...

Neutrinos are low-mass subatomic particles with zero electric charge that interact with matter only via the weak nuclear force and gravity. This makes neutrinos difficult to detect, despite the fact ...

Deep under the Antarctic ice, instruments built to catch ghostly particles have stumbled on something stranger than anyone ...

In 1867, Lord Kelvin pictured atoms as tiny knots in an invisible medium called the ether. That picture turned out to be wrong, since atoms are built ...

New research shows Uranus’ fierce radiation belts were a short-lived blast from a solar storm, reshaping what Voyager 2 ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

A decade-long investigation into puzzling neutrino behavior has now ruled out one of the most widely discussed explanations: ...

Scientists have managed to observe solar neutrinos carrying out a rare atomic transformation deep underground, converting ...
