Neutrinos are very small, neutral subatomic particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter and are thus sometimes ...
The National Science Foundation's massive IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole just got a major new upgrade, which promises to take the search for "ghost particles" to a new level.
The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...
"We have long treated the Planck scale like a blurry limit," said Kulkarni. "But if you treat space as an information storage medium, geometry dictates a specific packing efficiency. The universe has ...
In 2023, Earth was struck by a subatomic particle so energetic that, on paper, it should not exist. The neutrino, calculated ...
Researchers at the company are trying to understand their A.I. system’s mind—examining its neurons, running it through ...
After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.
A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...
After years of work building an exquisitely sensitive instrument, University of Chicago scientists stood and watched as it flew up and out of sight into the fiercely blue Antarctic sky. Launched on ...
A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...
Close to the sun, the solar wind, a steady stream of charged particles, accelerates until it cannot turn back. During a record pass about 3.8 million miles above the surface, Parker Solar Probe ...
