Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved.

But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions with matter.
