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

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physicists have ruled out a mundane explanation for the strange findings of an old Soviet experiment, leaving open the possibility that the results point to a new fundamental particle. Deep in the ...

Harald Fox receives funding from UKRI. Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, has died aged 94. He was always a modest man, especially when considering that ...
