This event was recorded by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a large detector located deep within the Antarctic ice. The study was published in The Astrophysical Journal. Arrival direction of a ...
Located 700 meters underground near the city of Jiangmen in southern China, a giant sphere—35 meters in diameter and filled with more than 20,000 tons of liquid—has just started a mission that will ...
Deep beneath southern China, JUNO has launched one of the most ambitious neutrino experiments in history. With its massive 20,000-ton liquid scintillator detector now operational, it’s poised to ...
Located in a cubic kilometer of ice at the South Pole, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory is designed to detect high-energy neutrinos from far beyond our galaxy. Scientists believe these nearly massless ...
Physicist Carlos Argüelles-Delgado gives us an introduction to this one-of-a-kind facility, one of the most successful neutrino detectors in the world. Reading time 6 minutes Neutrinos are strange ...
