Francis Halzen is a physicist who paved the way for capturing high-energy neutrinos flying from space by embedding a massive observation device into the ice at the South Pole. He currently serves as a ...

The 2023 KM3NeT neutrino signal remains unexplained because of the extreme force with which it slammed into Earth. Now a new study has come up with the strangest theory ever, pinning it on a black ...

Making it work would require pulling a lot of (cosmic) strings—but perhaps we need wild explanations to explain wild events.

A bizarre neutrino that crashed into Earth in February 2023 is gaining no shortage of equally bizarre explanations. About 35 times more energetic than any neutrino seen before, it was picked up by the ...
