While neutrinos are one of the most common particles in the universe, their elusive nature makes it challenging to understand their behavior.  

Dark Matter Day, which began in 2017, is an annual celebration of the search for dark matter. Each year, laboratories around the world host Dark Matter Day events on or around October 31.

Yale will play a role in several initiatives highlighted in the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee’s long-range plan for nuclear physics research.

From June 5 to August 4, 2023, Wright Lab hosted a 9-week summer research program for undergraduates, postgraduates, and high school students, in partnership with the Yale Physics Department, the Yale Astronomy Department, and the Yale Quantum Institute (YQI)

Researchers have proven the viability of a new method to measure neutrino mass. Yale physicists Karsten Heeger and Talia Weiss discuss the discovery.

Karsten Heeger does field-leading research in the study of neutrinos and neutrino mass. He joined the Yale faculty in 2013.

Researchers in Yale’s Newburgh Lab have been using the telescope to study a technique that could improve the accuracy of future radio telescopes’ measurements

The small cosmic ray-detecting satellite will be deployed from the International Space Station in winter of 2023.

Exploring the Invisible Universe

Wright Lab 's Will Tyndall, graduate student in physics, and other members from the research group of Laura Newburgh, assistant professor of physics and a member of Yale's Wright Lab, have been developing a radio telescope that they can use as a testbed for instruments, technologies, and measurement techniques they are developing to calibrate telescopes at observatories around
