Scientists from the KATRIN experiment have achieved the most precise upper limit ever recorded for the mass of the mysterious ...

The KATRIN experiment in Germany nearly halved the maximum possible mass for neutrinos, setting it at 0.45 electron volts.

A new study shows that electron spins—tiny magnetic properties of atoms that can store information—can be protected from ...

Even in the shadow of larger launch companies, like SpaceX, Rocket Lab shows there's real profit to be made in focusing on ...

The small mass of the neutrino has been a crucial quest in physics and we still do not know exactly how light they are – but ...

Scientists carefully positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful ...

It is no heavier than 0.45 electron volts (eV) — less than one-millionth the mass of an electron, the next-lightest known ...

A Northwestern University-led international team of scientists has, for the first time, directly observed catalysis in-action ...
