When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, showers of radiation, and even the building blocks of gold and platinum.

The Big Bang may not have been the absolute beginning of everything. Instead, a controversial cosmological model suggests it ...

An international team combining two major neutrino experiments has uncovered stronger evidence that neutrinos and antimatter don’t behave as perfect mirror images. That subtle difference may hold the ...

The Universe should not exist. At least, not according to simple physics. After the Big Bang, equal parts matter and antimatter should have formed, then wiped each other out in flashes of energy.

Neutrinos are extremely lightweight and electrically neutral particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter. Due to these rare interactions, neutrinos can travel across space almost entirely ...

A snappy new device zipping about in low Earth orbit is now searching the most abundant particles in the universe that are exceptionally difficult to spot — neutrinos. The Solar Neutrino ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the particle many hoped would explain it. An international collaboration of ...

Neutrinos have about as little influence as a particle can have. They have essentially no heft, no electric charge, and no “color” charge. As a result, the neutrino has no connection with most of ...
