The international KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino Experiment (KATRIN), located at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), has broken an important "barrier" in neutrino physics which is relevant for bo .
An international research team that includes scientists from around the world, including MIT, has established a new upper limit on the mass of the neutrino –below 0.8 eV/c2 a milestone that will bear on future discoveries in nuclear and particle physics, and cosmology
A particle physicist explains just what this keystone theory includes. After 50 years, it’s the best we’ve got to answer what everything in the universe is made of and how it all holds together.
Physicists know a lot about the most fundamental properties of the universe, but they certainly don’t know everything. 2021 was a big year for physics – what was learned and what’s coming next?
