Hans Jakob „Jack“ Steinberger (born May 25, 1921) is an American physicist who, along with Leon Lederman and Melvin Schwartz, received the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the muon neutrino. Steinberger was born in the city of Bad Kissingen in Bavaria, Germany, in 1921. The rise

In India and elsewhere around the globe, consumers are being incentivized to purchase electric cars under the pretense that these types of vehicles are better for the environment. While it’s true that electric vehicles have the potential to reduce emissions, charging electric car batteries with conventional electrical grids, which primarily

Just a decade ago, leading scientists scoffed at the idea that neutrinos could be harnessed for energy. Long dubbed the “ghost particle,” the neutrino was seen as ephemeral and essentially useless. With the discovery that neutrinos have mass, it became apparent that these particles also have energy. Preliminary experiments have

Last year, physicists reported that, when chilled to 1.7°C above absolute zero (–273°C), sheets of carbon atoms two layers thick can conduct electricity without resistance, allowing electrons to whiz through the material without losing any energy. The double sheets of carbons, known as bilayer graphene, have captivated researchers because their

There’s no way around it: Human beings have become completely dependent on electric devices. However, generating the energy necessary to keep contemporary life on Earth afloat is posing an ever-greater challenge to the safety and prosperity of the people of the world. Despite the difficulties that the era of electronic

In this era of „homo electricus,“ life without electricity is completely unconceivable. But how is this energy to be generated? At the present time, scientists are working on a new form of technology which will revolutionize mankind’s struggle to meet its energy needs: Neutrino Energy Harvesting Systems that are able

Holger Thorsten Schubart, CEO of the Neutrino Energy Group, is in total agreement with the United States Department of Energy: „Neutrinos are the energy source of the future.“ For decades fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal have played a positive role in the processes of industrialization and

The MINERvA collaboration analyzed data from the interactions of an antineutrino—the antimatter partner of a neutrino—with a nucleus. They were surprised to find evidence that antineutrinos interacted with pairs of particles inside the nucleus. They had expected antineutrinos to interact with just single protons or neutrons. To see this evidence,

Researchers have shown that they can shield a sensitive, scalable 44-kilogram germanium detector array from background radioactivity, a key step towards solving a much bigger mystery. If equal amounts of matter and antimatter had formed in the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago, they would have annihilated one

Neutrino Energy announces that it has submitted U.S. patent applications for what it calls the real “Da Vinci Code”: converting neutrino energy into electricity. “Geometry is the key to unlocking the Secret” NEUTRINO Inc., Neutrino Deutschland GmbH, and the Neutrino ENERGY Forschungs- and Entwicklungs-UG all belong to the Neutrino Energy
