Supermassive black holes, even if they are not so active, can be major factories of high-energy cosmic particles in the universe, according to a new model proposed by an international research team including Penn State scientists. A paper describing the model that may explain the mysterious connection between observed gamma

Our electronic devices are rapidly evolving. The smartphone was a cutting-edge innovation ten years ago, but modern smartphones have already outstripped their predecessors to the point where the original iPhone looks like a dinosaur in comparison to the new iPhone 13. Device technology will advance even further into the utopian

Without an ample supply of electricity, modern civilization would grind to a halt. A power outage of more than a few hours is enough to remind people that their way of life depends on this resource. Unfortunately, generating power with fossil fuels has contributed to dangerous changes in the earth’s

SOLAR POWER IS EXPECTED TO OUTPACE ALL OTHER ENERGY FORMS BY 2040, BUT ITS INEVITABLE DOWNFALL IS THAT IT CAN’T WORK WHEN THE SUN ISN’T SHINING. ENTER NEUTRINO ENERGY AND ITS POWER CUBES, ABLE TO HARNESS THE POWER OF COSMIC RADIATION EVEN IN TOTAL DARKNESS. TALAL HUSSEINI CONSIDERS THEIR POTENTIAL………

Four scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have been selected to join the Washington State Academy of Sciences. Dick Kouzes, Ljiljana Paša-Tolić, Jon Schwantes and Katrina Waters will join other scientists and engineers from across the state being recognized for outstanding scientific achievement and leadership.

Italian physicist Ettore Majorana notoriously disappeared in 1938 without leaving a trace. His favourite elementary particles, neutrinos, might be capable of a similar vanishing act. Several new or upgraded experiments around the world are racing to show that an extremely rare kind of nuclear decay that normally produces two neutrinos

As if it weren’t confusing enough to have neutrinos of different flavors, different masses, and different matter (antimatter and regular matter), neutrinos also come in a wide variety of energies. The energy of a neutrino depends on the process that formed it. Because neutrinos have no charge, there’s no way

Neutrino Energy Group patented a conductive material known as neutrino film in 2015. The neutrino film is capable of responding to the motion of neutrinos and other non-visible particles as they pass through the planet in their countless trillions every day. Holger Thorsten Schubart, the CEO of the Neutrino Energy

It’s a first at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), or indeed at any particle collider: the FASER collaboration has detected the first candidate particle interactions for neutrinos produced in LHC collisions. The result, described in a paper posted online, paves the way for studies of high-energy neutrinos at current and

In the 1930s, the French physicist Pierre Auger placed Geiger counters along a ridge in the Alps and observed that they would sometimes spontaneously click at the same time, even when they were up to 300 meters apart. He knew that the coincident clicks came from cosmic rays, charged particles
