Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I am a writer specializing in physics, astronomy, and related topics. Kajita is one of the leaders of the Super-Kamiokande ...

Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

As part of the international T2K collaboration team led by Japan, researchers from the T2K group at CU Boulder have discovered indications of a new type of neutrino oscillation in an experiment in ...

Researchers in Japan and the US have provided independent confirmation that neutrinos have mass and can oscillate -- or change from one type of neutrino to another. Their results show that ...

BEIJING/SHENZHEN - Chinese and American physicists have made a pivotal breakthrough in the study of neutrinos, which may explain the predominance of matter over antimatter in the universe. The ...

Physicists at the Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) experiment in Japan claim to have measured, for the first time, muon neutrinos changing into electron neutrinos. The effect could allow researchers to pinpoint ...

Any motion which repeats itself at regular intervals of time is known as periodic motion. If a body moves back and forth repeatedly about its mean position then it is said to be in oscillatory motion.

Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald received the call from Sweden for their work on the Super-Kamiokande and SNO experiments. The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded this morning to two ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago have turned fluorescent proteins into biological qubits, enabling living cells to ...

Two types of mid-high-latitude low-frequency intraseasonal oscillations (LF-ISOs), featuring eastward and westward propagation, have been identified over the Eurasian continent in the past 37 summers ...

Synchronization is important to understanding how neurons behave, which is particularly relevant with regard to brain diseases like Alzheimer's, epilepsy and Parkinson's. Now, a group of researchers ...
