IceCube Just Spent 10 Years Searching for Dark Matter
Neutrinos are tricky little blighters that are hard to observe. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica was built to detect…
Could Forests Become Ultrahigh Energy Neutrino Detectors?
I really don’t know how to introduce this article. Neutrinos are elementary particles and are electrically neutral. They are produced…
A Proposal for a Neutrino Detection Array Spanning 200,000 Square Kilometers
Sometimes in astronomy the acronym for a project fits it particularly well. That would absolutely be the case for the…
Why was there more matter than antimatter in the Universe? Neutrinos might give us the answer
The universe is filled with matter, and we don't know why. We know how matter was created, and can even…
Neutrinos Have Been Detected With Such High Energy That The Standard Model Can’t Explain Them
Although neutrinos are mysterious particles, they are remarkably common. Billions of neutrinos pass through your body every second. But neutrinos…
Physicists Don’t Know the Mass of a Neutrino, But Now They Know it’s No Larger Than 1 Electron Volt
The Standard Model of Particle Physics is one of science's most impressive feats. It's a rigorous, precise effort to understand…
We’re One Step Closer to Knowing Why There’s More Matter Than Antimatter in the Universe
The T2K experiment just released its first batch of data, which could help answer why there is an apparent imbalance…
What Are The Odds Of Spotting A Milky Way Supernova From Earth?
An exploding star in our home galaxy might be visible to Earth in the next 50 years, astronomers say in…
