Neutrino mass measurements remain one of the most challenging endeavours in contemporary physics. Direct measurement techniques, particularly those probing the endpoint of the tritium β-decay spectrum ...

So, physicists at MIT and the University of Texas at Arlington have outlined a concept for a neutrino laser that could help ...

To say that neutrinos aren’t the easiest particles to study would be a bit of an understatement. Outside of dark matter, there’s not much in particle physics that is as slippery as the ...

At MIT’s Formaggio Lab, Peña’s work may help researchers pinpoint the elusive particle’s mass—and refine the fundamental laws of physics in the process.

The Sun generates its tremendous energy through the process of nuclear fusion. At the same time it releases a continuous stream of neutrinos -- particles that serve as messengers of its internal ...

Super-cooling radioactive atoms could create a laser-like neutrino beam, potentially opening a new avenue for studying these elusive particles and even enabling novel forms of communication. Every ...

Now, MIT physicists have proposed a bold new way to probe these elusive particles: by building the world’s first neutrino laser. Unlike massive reactors or particle accelerators ...
