Rare silver decay offers scientists a new window into the antineutrino's elusive mass

New silver mass brings us a step closer in our understanding of the antineutrino mass

Neutrinos and antineutrinos are elementary particles with small but unknown mass. High-precision atomic mass measurements have revealed that beta decay of the silver-110 isomer has a strong potential to be used for the determination of electron antineutrino mass. The result is an important step paving the way for future antineutrino experiments.

A Particle Originating From the Edge of the Universe Detected at the Bottom of the Mediterranean Sea

In an unprecedented breakthrough, scientists have detected a neutrino with the highest energy ever recorded, deep in the Mediterranean Sea. This discovery could provide vital clues to understanding the origins of ultra-high-energy neutrinos, some of the most mysterious particles in the universe. KM3NeT Telescope: A Deep-Sea Observatory The discovery, published in the journal Nature, took place at a depth of 2,450 meters below the surface, where …
