The massive IceCube neutrino detector, buried in the Antarctic, has detected a total of 28 neutrinos that could have extraterrestrial origin. Scientists are excited about the discovery, as it could be a first step towards a completely new way of doing astronomy. Neutrinos are weakly-interacting particles. They are v... |

When we talk about super-fast external and/or portable storage devices, we usually mean USB 3.0-enabled flash drives, hard disk drives or solid-state drives. Akitio has just released something that will trump all of those things. Called Neutrino Thunderbolt Edition, it is a solid-state drive equipped with a Thunder... |

A collaboration of US scientists, featuring experts from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), and the University of Minnesota School of Physics and Astronomy, will construct this year a new, experimental matter detector. Aimed directly at unraveling the mysteries ... |

After having been showcased at this year's CeBIT show in Hanover, Germany, OCZ's first netbook, the Do-It-Yourself Neutrino, has finally been officially launched by the San Jose, California-based company. Designed to provide users with a DIY alternative on the netbook market, the new Neutrino from OCZ is sa... |

People attending OCZ's booth at this year’s CeBIT show in Hanover, Germany were able to set their eyes on the company's first Atom-based netbook, dubbed Neutrino. The system comes in a 10-inch form factor and is built on the familiar Intel Atom platform that is featured across most netbooks currently ... |

With most companies turning their attention to netbooks, OCZ's recent move to release its own such system seems somewhat natural. With the Neutrino, the memory company is aiming to provide users with an alternative design to other Intel Atom-powered systems on the market. In addition, OCZ takes advantage of its ... |

The Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) telescope detector, buried some 700 meters (2,200 feet) below the surface of Soudan, Minnesota, offered its operators a surprise recently, when it proved that it could interpret decays from the stratosphere (which is the upper layer of the atmosphere) and superimp... |

A massive project involving the building process of the world's greatest neutrino telescope is currently under development far to the southern pole, in Antarctica. A bold group of experts from the University of Delaware are facing the blistering cold deep underneath the snowy surface in an attempt to have the de... |

The issue that involves the symmetry breaking physics field is among the most important concerns in the world of physics, as demonstrated by the recent winning of a Nobel prize, since it could provide a much better understanding of the way the universe was created a few seconds after the Big Bang, as well as how... |

September 29th, the “Magnificent 7” European scientific program was presented to the public. It is the joint effort of seven bold projects to address some of the most difficult topics raised by astroparticle physics, such as dark matter, cosmic rays' origin, gravitational waves or the reasons behind ... |

The construction of the 12 observation lines of the first underwater neutrino telescope, Antares, is now complete and for more than a month now, two of the observation lines have been operational, continuously looking for any sign of neutrino particles coming from out of space. Antares is part of the European Antares... |

The universe is certainly not empty, that's a fact, but its not very dense either. Today, the visible universe consists mostly of empty space, void, while ordinary matter accounts for only 4 percent of the total mass. So where is the rest of 95 percent of the universe's mass? In dark energy and dark matter,... |

Measuring the mass of macroscopic objects is relatively easy, however when we're talking about elementary particles with masses lower than E-30 kilograms (one followed by 30 zeros!), the mass of the electron, things tend to get rather complicated. Usually, the mass of particles is calculated through mathematical... |

Dark matter is supposed to be all around us, nevertheless we have failed so far to make a direct observation of a dark matter cloud. The giant neutrino detector located in Antarctica, IceCube, will most likely receive an upgrade in order to produce direct evidence that dark matter can be found in the center of the Mi... |

What is the dark matter? I don't know; in fact, nobody knows for certain what it is. However, we do know two basic facts: we proved that it does exist, and without it the galaxies would mostly fall apart. Nevertheless, it is extremely hard to create a complete image of the past and future of the universe, when y... |

The Antares telescope is designed to detect quantum particles, called neutrinos. However, during tests, the primary detector of the telescope seemed to be able to distinguish between marine species, and is now adapted for marine life and sea health observation.When completed, the installation will be composed of 12 ... |

Our universe is made of ordinary stuff: electrons, neutrons, protons. But these particles have some weird cousins that occasionally flash into existence for just moments. The neutrinos is an example of elementary particles, but it displays some unusual properties: it travels close to the speed of light, has no elect... |

A gigantic telescope is about to be built in Antarctica and scientists hope to be able to catch a glimpse of neutrinos, the exotic particles traveling almost at the speed of light for millions of miles through space, passing right through planets.The name of the telescope is "IceCube" because it consists of thousand... |

The possible existence of "sterile neutrinos" has been a problem for the scientific community since the LSND experiment in the 1990s that appeared to contradict findings of other neutrino experiments worldwide by suggesting that some muon antineutrinos had flipped into electron antineutrinos after traveling about 30... |
