Human uptake of microplastic particles (MPs) is causing increasing health concerns, and there is mounting pressure to evaluate the associated risks. While MPs can be ingested, breathed in, or drank in ...

A deep-sea telescope has recorded the most energetic neutrino ever observed, shedding light on extreme cosmic events.

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors (SNSPDs), originally designed for detecting photons, can also accurately detect high-energy protons. This unexpected finding ...

The international KM3NeT collaboration, with the participation of the University of Granada, publishes the detection of a neutrino of unknown origin with a record energy of approximately 220 PeV, ...

Three and a half kilometers beneath the Mediterranean Sea, around 80km off the coast of Sicily, lies half of a very unusual telescope called KM3NeT.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a highly sensitive sensor ...

Scientists have just detected a neutrino that is thirty times more energetic than any previously detected anywhere in the world. This exceptional discovery opens up new perspectives for understanding ...

Neutrinos are ghostly subatomic particles that can travel in a straight line for billions of light-years, passing unhindered ...

Astronomers using a giant network of sensors, still under construction at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, have found the highest-energy cosmic “ghost particle” ever detected.

You would have to flip 75 heads in a row on a fair coin to have the same probability of a single neutrino interacting with a ...

The team announced its “ultrahigh energy” neutrino on Wednesday, in a paper published in the journal Nature. The finding ...
