The Savoy region of France is best known for its fir-lined ski slopes and picturesque Alpine villages. Less known is the fact that, deep beneath some of these slopes, scientists are investigating one ...

How do you find and measure nuclear particles, like antineutrinos, that travel near the speed of light? Antineutrinos are the antimatter partner of a neutrino, one of nature's most elusive and least ...

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 ...

Technology to measure the flow of subatomic particles known as antineutrinos from nuclear reactors could allow continuous remote monitoring designed to detect fueling changes that might indicate the ...

Two weeks ago, experimental results seemed to indicate that we're getting a handle on the low-mass particles called neutrinos. Today, Fermilab announced results generated using antineutrinos that ...

The physics community got a jolt last year when results showed for the first time that neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antineutrinos, might have different masses. A new from the MINOS ...

It’s often said that we know less about Earth’s deep interior than we do about the surface of Mars (or at this point, maybe even Pluto). A new global map of subatomic particles called antineutrinos is ...

Neutrinos may be the most mysterious particles in the universe. These ghostly entities zip around at nearly the speed of light and can fly through matter easily — a light-year's worth of lead would ...
