China is building a facility to measure neutrinos — mysterious subatomic particles. It's the first of three neutrino observatories expected to open worldwide in the next decade.

Much like neutrinos in matter, antineutrinos are the chargeless particles in the atom that have almost zero mass but exist in ...

Researchers used the facility's detector to observe neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antineutrinos, generated 295km away at the Japanese Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-Parc ...

KAMLAND detects antineutrinos, the antimatter opposites of neutrinos, which signal the latter's presence. The detector uses a telescope made of 1,000 tons of mineral oil and benzene in a stainless ...

Our knowledge of physics — gained through astrophysical experiments, or in laboratories via machines such as particle ...

Specifically, there seemed to be a strict distinction between neutrinos and antineutrinos. Thus awakened from our dogmatic slumber, we re-open Majorana's question: could the distinction between ...

Some of these are: Do neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate in the same way? Which neutrino mass state is the lightest? Are neutrinos their own antiparticles? Answering the above questions will allow ...

The neutron plays a fundamental role in the universe and its discovery was at the heart of developments in nuclear physics in the first half of the 20th Century. Prof Val Gibson tells Melvyn Bragg ...

Some come from supernova explosions in space. Neutrinos pair with antineutrinos, which scientists think mirror their behavior. So JUNO is designed to capture antineutrinos — specifically ...
