The Borexino collaboration, in which also scientists from TU Dresden are involved, has succeeded after more than 80 years in experimentally confirming the Bethe-Weizsäcker cycle….
Neutrinos Yield First Experimental Evidence of Catalyzed Fusion Dominant in Many Stars An international team of about 100 scientists of the Borexino Collaboration, including particle…
The neutrino is perhaps the best-named particle in the Standard Model of Particle Physics: it is tiny, neutral, and weighs so little that no one has been…
Exotic subatomic particles, sterile neutrinos, are no-shows in experiments, increasing doubts about their existence. University of Cincinnati physicists, as part of an international research team,…
Berkeley Lab researchers are part of an international team that reports a high-sensitivity measurement by underground CUPID-Mo experiment. Nuclear physicists affiliated with the U.S. Department…
Excess neutrinos and missing gamma rays? Coronae of supermassive black holes may be the hidden sources of mysterious cosmic neutrinos seen on Earth. The origin…
A recent study on ‘pre-supernova’ neutrinos—tiny cosmic particles that are extremely hard to detect—has brought scientists one step closer to understanding what happens to stars…
It started with a blast. On June 23, construction company Kiewit Alberici Joint Venture set off explosives 3,650 feet beneath the surface in Lead, South…
Scientists remain perplexed by the activity, with some 40 papers so far giving wildly different answers. A new research paper co-authored by a Virginia Tech…
Russian researchers trace high-energy neutrino origins to black holes in far-off quasars. Russian astrophysicists have come close to solving the mystery of where high-energy neutrinos…
How do you detect a particle that has almost no mass, feels only two of the four fundamental forces, and can travel unhindered through solid…
Scientists create new experiment to find neutrinos. One of the greatest mysteries in astrophysics these days is a tiny subatomic particle called a neutrino, so…
Link between IceCube neutrino event and distant radio galaxy resolved The neutrino event IceCube 170922A, detected at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole,…
Giant neutrino telescope to open window to ultra-high-energy universe. The long-sought, elusive ultra-high-energy neutrinos, ghost-like particles that travel cosmological-scale distances, are key to understanding the…
An international team of scientists has announced a breakthrough in its quest to measure the mass of the neutrino, one of the most abundant, yet…
Major steps forward in understanding neutrino properties. In the quest to prove that matter can be produced without antimatter, the GERDA experiment at the Gran…
Joseph Formaggio explains the discovery that the ghostly particle must be no more than 1 electronvolt, half as massive as previously thought. An international team…
The VERITAS array has confirmed the detection of gamma rays from the vicinity of a supermassive black hole. While these detections are relatively common for…
