An extraordinary event consistent with a neutrino with an estimated energy of about 220 PeV (220 x 10 15 electron volts or 220 million billion electron volts), was detected on February 13, 2023, by ...

Since 2010, the IceCube Observatory at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station has been delivering groundbreaking measurements of high-energy cosmic neutrinos. It consists of many detectors embedded in ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Of the 100 trillion neutrinos that pass through you every second, most come from the sun or Earth’s atmosphere. But a smattering of the ...

This article predates Brown Brothers Media’s ownership of Science Blog and has not been reviewed under our current editorial process. It is preserved as part of the publication’s archive. An artist's ...

The international collaboration that operates the KM3NeT experiment, a powerful telescope submerged in the depths of the Mediterranean, today publishes in Nature magazine the detection of the highest ...

Faint, distant galaxies spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope are beginning to reshape how scientists understand the high-energy universe. These compact objects, known as “Little Red Dots,” may ...

CosmicWatch is a compact and affordable particle detector that can be used for research and education purposes. Developed by physicist Spencer Axani, it costs about $100 and can be assembled easily.

A new underwater neutrino experiment—for now, only partially installed—has detected what appears to be the highest-energy cosmic neutrino observed to date. The KM3NeT experiment uses an array of ...

High-energy neutrinos are unique messengers of some of the most extreme processes occurring throughout the universe. Unlike high-energy photons, high-energy neutrinos are not absorbed as they traverse ...

The neutrino is now central to elementary particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. Neutrinos play a key role in theories that unify the elementary particles and forces. They yield clues about ...
