Trillions Of Particles Pass Through You Every Second. What They Are
Neutrinos have always fascinated scientists as they pass through everything that's there on the plant, like Marvel's fictional character Juggernaut (though not like a wrecking ball).

Nobel Physics 2026: How Antarctica's Ice Became A Window To The Universe
Francis Halzen has won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos from cosmic sources.

What Are Neutrinos? Why Nobel-Winning Researcher Francis Halzen Calls Them 'Ghost Particles'
Neutrinos are electrically neutral, extremely light subatomic particles that rarely interact with matter, allowing trillions to pass through the Earth and human bodies unnoticed.

Scientists Find Possible Source Of Rare Ghost Particle Detected On Earth
Scientists carried out follow-up observations across different wavelengths of light.

IceCube Traces High-Energy Neutrino to Distant Starburst Galaxy
Scientists have identified the source of a high-energy neutrino detected by IceCube in 2021. The particle originated from a distant starburst galaxy known as Shadow Blaster, suggesting that intensely star-forming galaxies can act as powerful cosmic accelerators without relying on active black holes.

Most Powerful Neutrino Ever Detected May Have Come From a Blazar
A 220 PeV neutrino detected beneath the Mediterranean Sea may have originated from a distant blazar. Simulations suggest these powerful black hole systems can generate ultra-high-energy ghost particles.

Ultra-High-Energy Neutrino Detected Beneath Mediterranean Sea Baffles Scientists
Scientists suggest an ultra-high-energy neutrino detected by KM3NeT detector may come from a primordial black hole explosion, hinting at new physics involving dark charge and the early universe.
-
Impossible Neutrino Detected on Earth May Come From an Exploding Primordial Black Hole
A mysterious neutrino detected in 2023 may be debris from an exploding primordial black hole. Scientists say the ultra-energetic particle defies known cosmic sources and could represent Hawking radiation, offering rare insight into early-universe physics and the possible nature of dark matter while challenging theories of black holes and cosmology.

Dark Matter May Interact with Cosmic Ghost Particles, Hinting at a Fundamental Breakthrough
New research suggests dark matter may interact with neutrinos, explaining why cosmic structures today are less clumpy than expected. This subtle interaction challenges the standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter model and could guide particle physics experiments. If confirmed, it would be a fundamental breakthrough, reshaping our understanding of the univ...

Scientists Rule Out Elusive Sterile Neutrino After 10-Year Hunt, Shaking Particle Physics
After ten years of experiments, physicists found no evidence for the sterile neutrino, once thought to explain unusual neutrino behaviour. The MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab analysed neutrinos from two beams and ruled out the particle with 95% certainty. The findings narrow the search for new physics and inform future experiments like DUNE.

Neutrino Detectors May Unlock the Search for Light Dark Matter, Physicists Say
Physicists now believe that massive neutrino detectors—built to observe rare solar and cosmic particles—could also detect extremely light dark matter that traditional experiments miss. By monitoring subtle annual variations in their background signals, observatories like JUNO and Borexino may open a new frontier in uncovering the universe’s m...

China’s Massive JUNO Experiment Delivers Its First World-Class Neutrino Results
China’s Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory has delivered world-class results after only 59 days of data collection, achieving the most precise measurements yet of two major neutrino oscillation parameters. JUNO’s early performance surpasses all previous experiments, confirming a small but intriguing discrepancy between solar and reactor ...

Ghostly Neutrinos May Hold the Answer to Why Matter Exists in Our Universe
In a breakthrough study, scientists merged data from Japan’s T2K and the U.S. NOvA neutrino experiments to explore why matter exists in the universe. The findings improve measurements of neutrino behavior and may help reveal whether these particles break symmetry with antimatter, offering vital clues to how the universe survived after the Big Ban...

20,000 Tonnes Under Earth: China Unveils Most Powerful 'Ghost Particle' Tracker
China has launched Juno, the worlds largest and most powerful neutrino detector, to explore mysterious ghost particles. Located deep underground in Guangdong, it will study neutrinos emitted by nearby nuclear power plants, marking a major milestone

AMoRE Experiment Sets New Benchmark in Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Research
The AMoRE experiment has made significant progress in refining the limits of neutrinoless double beta decay using molybdenum-100. While AMoRE-I set a new upper limit on the decay halflife, no clear signal was observed. The next phase, AMoRE-II, is being developed at Yemilab with enhanced detection systems to further explore this rare nuclear proces...
