Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

John Peoples was asked in the mid-1990s about the value of doing pure scientific research — that which has no predetermined benefit. “Knowledge is a form of wealth,” he replied. “It is an ...

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.
