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.
A neutrino telescope, therefore, is a giant exercise in statistics. Observe lots of atoms for a long time and sooner or later ...
Astronomers using a giant network of sensors, still under construction at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, have found the highest-energy cosmic “ghost particle” ever detected.
In the search for elusive particles called neutrinos, researchers are stringing thousands of detectors in the depths of the ...
The team announced its “ultrahigh energy” neutrino on Wednesday, in a paper published in the journal Nature. The finding ...
Using an observatory under construction deep beneath the Mediterranean Sea near Sicily, scientists have detected a ghostly ...
Scientists have detected the highest-energy ghost particle neutrino ever, but did it come from a supermassive black hole ...
For context, the most powerful particle accelerator on Earth, the Large Hadron Collider, accelerates protons to an energy of 7 Tera-electronVolts (TeV). The neutrino that was detected had an energy of ...
Neutrinos are very mysterious particles,” says Damien Dornic, one of the co-authors of a new paper published February 12 in ...
Although still under construction, the sea-floor KM3NeT detector spotted a neutrino 20 times more powerful than any ...
A deep-sea detector glimpsed a particle with 220 million billion electron volts of energy — around 20 times as energetic as any neutrino seen before.
An extraordinary event consistent with a neutrino with an estimated energy of about 220 PeV (220 x 1015 electron volts or 220 ...
