Scientists Detect Ultra-High-Energy Neutrino That Could Reshape Cosmic Understanding


Neutrinos can travel through space at a speed similar to that of light, carry non-zero mass, and lack any charge.



Scientists have managed to detect an ultra-high-energy neutrino, or 'ghost particle', that can change the way astrophysicists view the world. Using data from the Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope, also known as the KM3NeT, located in the depth of the Mediterranean Sea, the researchers at the Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, identified the neutrino -- packing 30 times more energy than any other detected so far.

The detection of the ultra-high-energy neutrino, one of only a few hundred identified, was revealed this month in the journal Nature.

"This is the first time that we've measured the highest-energy neutrino and the energy we're talking about is in terms of 100 million billion times the energy of visible light," Dr Satyendra Thoudam, assistant professor at the Department of Physics at Khalifa, who was involved with the telescope project was quoted as saying by The National.

Neutrinos are born during extreme cosmic events such as supernova or black hole collisions. They have non-zero mass and lack any charge which explains the ghostly nickname.

Neutrinos can travel through space at a speed similar to that of light and because of their parameters, they hardly interact with anything they come across. In fact, even if you were a human-sized neutrino detector, it would take around a century for the particle to forge some sort of interaction with your body.

As per the researchers, neutrinos can be used to study the distant universes and the cosmic events that take place in astrophysical objects, albeit in a new way.


"This has actually opened a new window on the universe. At the same time, it's also opened a new window to study the energy of the ultra-high-energy rays and their propagation in the universe, which is one of the most fundamental problems in astrophysics," added Dr Thoudam.

Physicists observe a new form of magnetism for the first time

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry " spintronic " memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up of two main forms of magnetism: the ferromagnetism of everyday fridge magnets and compass needles, and antiferromagnetism, in which materials have magnetic properties at the microscale yet are not macroscopically magnetized. Now, the MIT team has demonstrated a new form of magnetism , termed "p-wave magnetism." Physicists have long observed that electrons of atoms in regular ferromagnets share the same orientation of "spin," like so many tiny compasses pointing in the same direction. This spin alignment generates a magnetic field, which gives a ferromagnet its inherent magnetism. Electrons belonging to magnetic atoms in an antiferromagnet also have spin, although these spins alternate, with electrons orbiting neighboring atoms aligning their spins antiparalle...

Physicists Catch Light in 'Imaginary Time' in Scientific First

For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time '. When you shine light through almost any transparent material, the gridlock of electromagnetic fields that make up the atomic alleys and side streets will add a significant amount of time to each photon's commute. This delay can tell physicists a lot about how light scatters, revealing details about the matrix of material the photons must navigate. Yet until now, one trick up the theorist's sleeve for measuring light's journey invoking imaginary time has not been fully understood in practical terms. An experiment conducted by University of Maryland physicists Isabella Giovannelli and Steven Anlage has now revealed precisely what pulses of microwave radiation (a type of light that exists outside the visible spectrum) do while experiencing imaginary time inside a roundabout of cables. Their work also demonstrates how imaginary numbers can describe a ver...
