The world's first space-based neutrino detector launched to space this month to study elusive neutrino particles that constantly bombard Earth.

The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Francis Halzen for the detection of "ghost particle" neutrinos from the depths of space by the IceCube observatory at the South Pole.

Scientists have found a neutrino that could come from a gamma-ray burst, an active black hole or a collision between a cosmic ray and photons in the cosmic microwave background.

"History shows us that whenever you do open a new 'energy window,' you never really know what you're going to find. It's completely unexplored."

A new joint analysis from the NOvA and T2K experiments offers the most precise look yet at neutrino behavior, bringing scientists closer to understanding why the universe is made of matter.

"Neutrinos are not a side detail in supernovas."

"We have never observed such a high-energy neutrino before, and if it turns out to come from cosmic accelerators like blazars, it would give us new insight into how these objects can emit particles at energies beyond what we previously expected."

The universe is haunted by "cosmic ghosts" called neutrinos, which seem to be the "whispers" of stars that died in supernova explosions over the course of billions of years.

"If confirmed, Shadow Blaster would be the first-ever individual dusty star-forming galaxy directly linked to a high-energy neutrino event."

Scientists are searching for answers in the cosmic mystery of ghost particles known as neutrinos.

Mysterious "little red dots" discovered in the early universe by the James Webb Space Telescope could harbor buried black holes that fire high-energy neutrinos through the cosmos.

If astronomers could catch bursts of gamma rays from supernova explosions that create neutron stars near the Milky Way, the mystery of dark matter could be wrapped up in 10 seconds.

Some vampire white dwarfs that feed on companion stars can transform into neutron stars, but like a cosmic Goldilocks, conditions must be "just right" for this extreme makeover.

Dark matter, antimatter, W bosons and neutron lifetimes all feature in our top 10 stories.

A mystery signal detected high in the sky above Antarctica defies current models of physics and could represent a new particle, scientists say.

"If this interaction between dark matter and neutrinos is confirmed, it would be a fundamental breakthrough."

Scientists theorize there could be subatomic particles we have yet to discover. Here are five of the weirdest, rarest hypothetical particles in the universe.

The axion could be a contender to explain the mystery of dark matter.

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting stronger and stronger upper limits, so alternative scenarios have to be considered."

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts.

Astronomers have tracked a powerful blast of radiation back to its source, finding a neutron star collision within colliding galaxies.

With the help of an extremely powerful telescope deep underground in Japan, astronomers may be able to catch a glimpse of ghost particles from long-dead stars.

"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, which would be consistent with other astrophysical observations, and account for all the missing dark matter in the universe."

Astronomers have detected radio signals coming from a long-dead neutron star known as the 'Blue Eye Pulsar' after searching for decades.

This new analysis could be used to test the physics of quantum chromodynamics in the future.

Two teams of astronomers have simultaneously discovered a strange, spinning dead star that seems to defy our current understanding of both neutron stars and white dwarfs.

A neutron star-powered pulsar is fleeing a supernova explosion in the outskirts of the Milky Way, a low-density region where such events are "forbidden."

Astronomers have accidently spotted a new type of cosmic explosion called a "millinova" triggered by white dwarfs feeding on stars. If that sounds familiar get ready for a suprise!

As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and structure, potentially revealing clues as to what lies within them.

"Our scenario describes all the evolutionary phases of the supernova with great precision."
