Neutrinos are known for funny business. Now scientists have set a new limit on a quantum trait responsible for the subatomic particles’ quirkiness: uncertainty. The lightweight particles morph from ...
Neutrinos of different "flavor" quantum states (shown by colors) are entangled through interactions. In dense neutrino environments like core-collapse supernovae, this leads neutrinos of different ...
Researchers used quantum simulations to obtain new insights into the nature of neutrinos—the mysterious subatomic particles that abound throughout the universe—and their role in the deaths of massive ...
Researchers have discovered in a study published in Physical Review D that neutrinos in a particularly dense environment can form significant correlations (or quantum entanglement) through mutual ...
Since the 1990s, physicists have pondered the tantalizing possibility of an exotic fourth type of neutrino, dubbed the “sterile” neutrino, that doesn’t interact with regular matter at all, apart from ...
The quantum size of a neutrino has been measured for the first time using innovative table-top measurements of the particle’s decay. Neutrinos are thought to be the second most common particles in the ...
Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.
