Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a unified theory capable of explaining both the infinitely large and the ...

Our Milky Way galaxy is an awe-inspiring feature of the night sky, viewable with the naked eye as a hazy band of stars stretching from horizon to horizon. For the first time, the IceCube Neutrino ...

Outer space is awash in neutrinos, subatomic particles that travel at the speed of light and have no mass — and that provide a cosmic “smoking gun.” On Thursday, astronomers announced a breakthrough: ...

Neutrino mass ordering evidence reaches 3-sigma significance after a solo physicist at TU Munich combines all four public ...

An artist’s composition of the Milky Way seen with a neutrino lens (blue). Astronomers are hailing a “new lens” they can use to observe the universe after the publishing of this new image (above) of ...

It was over almost as soon as it started, but the momentary flicker was all physicists needed to make the call. The muon collision their detectors picked up was a byproduct of a powerful subatomic ...

About a trillion tiny particles called neutrinos pass through you every second. Created during the Big Bang, these “relic” neutrinos exist throughout the entire universe, but they can’t harm you. In ...

On Saturday, December 18, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory sank the last of 86 strings of sensitive photodetectors to a depth of almost two and a half kilometers in the ice at the South Pole, marking ...

To study the universe's engimas, researchers plunged the world's largest underwater telescope into the depths of Siberia's Lake Baikal on March 13. The spherical telescope, called the Baikal-Gigaton ...

An international team of scientists announced Wednesday the detection of an extraordinary, elusive neutrino — a tiny, subatomic particle that flitted at close to the speed of light toward an undersea ...
