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.

James Webb Space Telescope Could Illuminate Dark Matter in an Unexpected Way
New research suggests the James Webb Space Telescope could help uncover the true nature of dark matter. By observing strange, elongated galaxies in the early universe, scientists believe JWST may reveal how dark matter shaped cosmic structure, offering clues that could narrow down long-standing theories about this invisible substance.

James Webb Space Telescope Could Help Reveal Dark Matter in a Way Scientists Did Not Anticipate
New research suggests the James Webb Space Telescope could help scientists understand dark matter by studying oddly shaped early galaxies. These elongated galaxies may form due to dark matter’s gravitational behaviour, offering indirect clues about whether ultralight or warm dark matter particles shaped the early universe.

Scientists Observe Solar Neutrinos Altering Matter for the First Time
Scientists have directly observed solar neutrinos altering matter for the first time, confirming a decades-old prediction in particle physics. This landmark result provides the lowest-energy measurement of a neutrino–nucleus interaction ever recorded and opens a powerful new way to study elusive neutrinos, nuclear reactions, and the inner working...

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...

Fermi Telescope Detects Gamma-Ray Halo That Could Be First Direct Dark Matter Signal
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has detected a faint halo of high-energy gamma rays around the Milky Way’s centre—matching predictions for dark-matter annihilation. The finding, reported by Professor Tomonori Totani, could represent the first direct glimpse of dark matter, but scientists caution that alternative explanations remain and...
