High-energy neutrinos are unique messengers of some of the most extreme processes occurring throughout the universe. Unlike high-energy photons, high-energy neutrinos are not absorbed as they traverse ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. On Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025, Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) will ...

Neutrinos have been with us since the beginning. They existed alongside prehistoric humans, dinosaurs and the first scattered crumbs of life on Earth. The birth of the solar system, the formation of ...

The results add to physicists’ understanding of neutrinos and validate collaboration between major experiments. The NOνA far detector. Credit: Public domain image from Fermilab. More details here.

Australian researchers have played a central role in a landmark result from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment in South Dakota—the world's most sensitive dark matter detector. Today, scientists working on ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter. By Kenneth Chang Just how many types of neutrinos ...

Neutrinos are fundamental particles that interact rarely with matter and are therefore notoriously difficult to detect. There are three known types of neutrino, but anomalous experimental results have ...

A picture of the NOvA "far detector" located in Minnesota. Neutrinos sent from Fermilab's NuMI (Neutrinos at the Main Injector) beam travel 810 kilometers underground to reach this detector. Very ...

The neutrino is now central to elementary particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. Neutrinos play a key role in theories that unify the elementary particles and forces. They yield clues about ...
