Scientists discover ‘ghost particle’ with highest energy yet in Mediterranean Sea


Scientists have discovered the most powerful ghost particle, 30 times more energetic than any detected on Earth, using a neutrino detector in Mediterranean sea.

In a remarkable discovery, one which takes humanity closer to understanding neutrinos, scientists have discovered the most powerful ghost particle yet on Wednesday through a neutrino detector, which is still under construction at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

The newly detected particle is said to be thirty times more active and energetic than any such particle detected on Earth yet, the Associated Press reported.

While the scientists anticipate that the particle came from outside the Milky Way galaxy, its exact source still remains to be detected, the report added.

The discovery was made using Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope, also called KM3NeT, comprising two large neutrino detectors, Reuters reported.

Physicist Paschal Coyle of France’s Marseille Particle Physics Centre (CPPM) said in the research published in Nature journal that "it's in a completely unexplored region of energy," while another scientist, Aart Heijboer of Netherlands’ Nikhef National Institute for Subatomic Physics called the energy of this neutrino “exceptional."

The discovery points to many possibilities, including the presence of more such powerful ghost particles on Earth.

“It's a sign that we're on the right track, and it's also a hint that maybe there might be a surprise,” said Syracuse University’s physicist Denver Whittington, who was not involved with the new research, said the AP report.

What are ghost particles


Neutrinos are emitted through stars and are known as ‘ghost particles’ because of their negligible mass and ability to go undetected. According to an AFP report, they are the second most abundant particle in the universe. They also don’t carry any electric charge and can pass through in huge quantities, sometimes even trillions, through our body.

Italian researcher Rosa Coniglione said in a statement that neutrinos serve as "special cosmic messengers" when they arrive at Earth. They offer a glimpse into the far reaches of the universe, she added.

Freezing light? Italian scientists froze fastest thing in universe, here’s how

In a rare occurrence, physics made it possible to control the fastest travelling element - light. Italian scientists have managed to freeze the light, as per reports. A recent study published in a British weekly journal reportedly revealed that light can exhibit ‘ supersolid behavior ’ a unique state of matter that flows without friction while retaining a solid-like structure. The research, led by Antonio Gianfate from CNR Nanotec and Davide Nigro from the University of Pavia, marks a significant step in understanding supersolidity in light. The scientists described their findings as “just the beginning” of this exploration, as per reports. In what can be termed as ‘manipulating photons under controlled quantum conditions ’, the scientists demonstrated that light, too, can exhibit this behaviour. (A photon is a bundle of electromagnetic energy which is massless, and travel at the speed of light) How did scientists freeze light? As we know, freezing involves lowering a liquid’s tempera...

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...
