Tiny black holes from cosmic collisions

When particle rays collide in space, they can create microscopic black holes that instantly evaporate into a stream of neutrinos. Already, by studying neutrinos from a distant galaxy, scientists have tested energy limits where gravity changes the rules. Upcoming observatories will search even deeper

Solar Neutrinos in a Dark Matter Trap

Scientists from the XENONnT collaboration have shown that ultrasensitive detectors built to hunt dark matter can spot neutrinos born from thermal motion in the Sun's core. The energy of these particles is like a dust speck tossed by the wind, once thought nearly invisible. The method lets us study t

Symphony of Shadows: Neutrino Telescopes Catch the Whisper of Dark Matter

Using 13 years of data from the ANTARES telescope, scientists have set stringent limits on the interaction of dark matter with ordinary matter across mass scales from keV to GeV. Collisions of cosmic rays with dark matter particles in the Galactic Ridge produce neutrinos that are detected by deep-se
