Dark matter is thought to outnumber regular matter by a factor of five to one – so why can’t we find the stuff? A new study ...

NEW YORK (AP) — A neutrino detector submerged in the Mediterranean Sea has sniffed out the most energetic ghost particle yet, ...

Researchers have been working for decades to understand the architecture of the subatomic world. One of the knottier questions has been where the proton gets its intrinsic angular momentum, otherwise ...

Neutrinos are ghostly subatomic particles that can travel in a straight line for billions of light-years, passing unhindered ...

In the search for elusive particles called neutrinos, researchers are stringing thousands of detectors in the depths of the ...

A neutrino telescope, therefore, is a giant exercise in statistics. Observe lots of atoms for a long time and sooner or later ...

A growing awareness of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and the pervasiveness of microplastics have led to an uptick in ...

Einstein predicted the existence of gravitationally-warped rings of light in 1915. Now, a new one has been discovered just a ...

The team announced its “ultrahigh energy” neutrino on Wednesday, in a paper published in the journal Nature. The finding ...

William Matthaeus, the Martin A. Pomerantz Chair of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Delaware, has won UD’s highest faculty honor — the Francis Alison Award — in recognition of his ...

Quantum calculations amount to sophisticated estimates. But in 1931, Hans Bethe intuited precisely how a chain of particles ...

A huge detector in the Mediterranean Sea spotted the most energetic neutrino from space to date. The particle could shed light on the universe’s most extreme phenomena.
