(Phys.org)—Two teams of researchers have now offered their findings regarding the estimates of the flavor of neutrinos that were detected by the The IceCube Neutrino Observatory (TINO) two years ago. The first group, a ...
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a cubic-kilometer-sized neutrino telescope at the South Pole, has observed a new kind of astrophysical messenger. In a new study recently accepted for publication as an Editors' Suggestion ...
