The U.S. particle physics community is preparing for a major research program with the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). DUNE will study neutrino oscillations. These quantum mechanical ...

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 ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A technician stands Inside one of the protoDUNE detectors during its construction at CERN. Could ...

To harness the forces that power the Sun to produce substantial clean energy on Earth, researchers heat fuel to such a high temperature that atoms melt into electrons and nuclei to form a hot, gaseous ...

The results add to physicists’ understanding of neutrinos and validate collaboration between major experiments. The NOνA far detector. Credit: Public domain image from Fermilab. More details here.

The experimental neutrino physics group is involved in three experiments around the world, described below. Our research involves the study of fundamental subatomic particles called neutrinos. In ...

After years of searching, scientists at the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have ruled out the possibility of the existence of a sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that had long ...

Fig. 2. (a) Coherent phonon oscillations with a frequency of 2.6 THz observed in optical pump/femtosecond x-ray diffraction probe experiments for different pump fluences of the mid-infrared excitation ...

The neutrino is perhaps the most fascinating inhabitant of the subatomic world. Nearly massless, this fundamental particle experiences only the weak nuclear force and the much fainter force of gravity ...

To harness the forces that power the Sun, researchers heat fuel to such a high temperature that atoms melt into electrons and nuclei to form a hot, gaseous soup called plasma. The plasma can rip ...
