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

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of ...

After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions ...

Australian researchers have played a central role in a landmark result from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment in South ...

Scientists have taken a major step towards finding elusive types of tiny, 'ghost-like' particles, and potentially new physics. For the first time, neutrinos have been spotted by the Short-Baseline ...

How did the possibility of sterile neutrinos even become a thing? It all dates back to the so-called “solar neutrino problem.

The 12-metre-diameter acrylic vessel surrounded by 9,000 photomultiplier tubes at the heart of the the Sudbury Neutrino ...

A big detector to measure tiny particles The $300 million detector in Kaiping, China, took more than nine years to build. It is located 2,297 feet underground to protect it from pesky cosmic rays and ...

Neutrinos are one of the most mysterious particles in the universe, often called "ghost particles" because they rarely ...

Neutrino detectors don’t grow on trees. Or do they? Forests could one day be used to spot ultra-high-energy neutrinos, a physicist proposes. Trees could act as natural antennas that pick up radio ...
