The "sterile neutrino" appears not to exist, meaning scientists are back to the drawing board on some of the most fundamental mysteries of the universe.
An international team of researchers found strong evidence suggesting that a subatomic particle called a muon might be breaking the accepted laws of physics. During an experiment at the Fermi [.]
On a February Zoom call, a team of University of Kentucky professors held their breath alongside hundreds of their colleagues across the country, waiting to find out the results of three years of work.
When we consider the origins of life in our Solar System, a remarkable discovery has to be taken into account –the Solar System is substantially over-abundant in metals compared with average interstellar abundances at the time of its formation 4.6 billion years ago. These solar abundances are similar to present interstellar abundances, an anomaly that remains a mystery. One possibility scientists suggest is that the Sun formed much closer to the galactic center than its current position, which may have resulted in a plentiful supply of raw materials in the solar nebula from which to form the Earth and its biosphere.
their monk the most common elementary particles and a source of fascination for scientists in the antarctic an entire observatory has been built to detect these mysterious objects. in 2015 to physicists shared the nobel prize for demonstrating that neutrinos have most but how much mass to find out researchers have developed the world s most precise scale. tree knows are born during nuclear fusion in the sun countless numbers of solar neutrinos arrive on earth every 2nd and that s just one source of these mysterious particles they re so puny that until recently scientists believed they had no mass at all. today we know that the subatomic particles do have a mass an extremely small one physicist magnus slusser is involved in experiments to pin it down they ve already yielded initial results. yet so these measurements allowed us to read. arrow down the estimated mass slightly the upper limit was
