Chinese scientists have deployed prototype detectors in the South China Sea to explore building a large underwater ...

Chinese scientists have deployed several prototype detectors to locate neutrinos in the South China Sea, the Institute of ...

Neutrinos, often called 'ghost particles', are subatomic particles that travel through space but barely interact with ...

In the darkness of the ocean depths, Chinese scientists are hoping to solve one of the enduring mysteries of the universe Prototype detectors have been sent deep into the South China Sea by Chinese ...

In the early 1980s, Japanese physicist Masatoshi Koshiba was constructing a pioneering experimental facility to detect neutrinos from the Sun. Neutrinos are chargeless, invisible and notoriously ...

But the right-handed neutrinos have one more trick up their sleeves. The researchers behind the paper propose that the right-handed neutrinos didn't completely disappear from the cosmic scene. Instead ...

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory will soon begin the difficult task of spotting neutrinos: tiny cosmic particles with a mind-bogglingly small mass. The detector is one of three ...

Astrophysics pioneer Masatoshi Koshiba, a co-winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2002 for the detection of cosmic neutrinos, died on Nov. 12. He was 94. Koshiba's groundbreaking work ...

Neutrinos are abundant in the cosmos but difficult ... Cherenkov radiation occurs when charged particles, like cosmic rays, move faster than light in a particular medium — such as water.

A magnetic focusing "horn" that scientists used to produce the neutrinos in Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory's NuMI beam. This method made this first-ever image of the proton using neutrinos.
