This is the conclusion from the first results of the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS), presented at a seminar at Fermilab on 30 March, which showed that MINOS has observed the disappe...
Read article 'Neutrinos provide new route to heavy elements in supernovae'
During their long lifetimes stars generate their energies by nuclear fusion in their interiors, which are generally accepted to be the breeding grounds for carbon and heavier elements.
Read article 'Sterile neutrinos unravel astrophysics'
Almost every current theoretical model of neutrino masses introduces sterile ("right-handed") fields, which mix with the ordinary ("left-handed") neutrinos.
