New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion of the universe.

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle ...

Results from KATRIN and MicroBooNE strongly disfavour a light sterile-neutrino explanation of longstanding anomalies.

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found evidence against the existence of a "sterile" type of neutrino hypothesized ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

Physicists at the world's largest particle accelerator have made a first-of-its-kind discovery about antimatter that could help solve one of the universe's biggest mysteries. The discovery — made at ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...
