Earlier this year, an underwater detector in the Mediterranean Sea found the most energetic neutrino to date. And scientists are still talking about it because, well, this discovery could be a really ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

A deep-sea neutrino telescope has detected the most energetic neutrino ever recorded. The particle, known as a "ghost particle," was about 30 times more active than the previous record-holder.

The detected cosmic ray had an estimated energy of 244 EeV, comparable to the most energetic cosmic ray ever observed (Osaka Metropolitan University/L-INSIGHT) (CN) — Researchers out of Osaka, Japan, ...

Artist’s illustration of the extremely energetic cosmic ray observed by a surface detector array of the Telescope Array experiment, named “Amaterasu particle.” In 1991, the University of Utah Fly’s ...

At Texas A&M University, experimental particle physicist Dr. Rupak Mahapatra spends his days chasing some of the faintest signals in the universe. His lab designs cryogenic semiconductor detectors ...
