Early Tuesday morning, the Nobel Committee announced that two scientists, Takaaki Kajita of Japan and Arthur McDonald of Canada, won the Nobel Prize in physics for their experiments in neutrino ...

Neutrinos are very small, neutral subatomic particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter and are thus sometimes ...

Researchers in Japan and the US have provided independent confirmation that neutrinos have mass and can oscillate -- or change from one type of neutrino to another. Their results show that ...

Modern nuclear theory predicts that nucleons appear less “squishy” when probed with neutrinos than was previously inferred from experimental data Scientists use the nuclear theory method called ...

Antineutrino search: the NOvA detector in northern Minnesota. (Courtesy: Fermilab/Reidar Hahn) The best evidence yet that muon antineutrinos can change into electron antineutrinos has been found by ...

Neutrinos are fundamental particles characterized by no electric charge and very small masses, which are known to interact with other matter via the weak force or gravity. While these particles have ...

Figure 1: Different network motifs and the corresponding biochemical oscillatory systems. We study three specific models, the activator–inhibitor (AI) model, the repressilator model, and the ...

Kajita is one of the leaders of the Super-Kamiokande experiment in Japan, while McDonald led the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) in Canada. These experiments complement each other in the type of ...

Neutrinos are the most enigmatic of the subatomic fundamental particles. Ghosts of the quantum world, neutrinos interact so weakly with ordinary matter that it would take a wall of solid lead five ...
