The answer to one of the greatest mysteries of the universe may come down to one of the smallest, and spookiest, particles. The

Matter is the commonest form of stuff in the cosmos. Everything around us is made up of matter, from planets and stars to puppies. But matter has a flip side: antimatter. Protons, electrons and other particles all have antimatter counterparts: antiprotons, positrons, etc. Yet for some reason

Physicists believe that the universe was born with an equal amount of matter and antimatter. However, since matter and antimatter annihilate each other on contact, the universe should have ended up with nothing but energy. Something must have

Some physicists believe that neutrinos, tiny subatomic particles, could provide a clue to the mysteries of the universe. neutrinos are incredibly small, with less than one millionth the mass of an electron. They're produced in radioactive decays and in the sun and other cosmic environments. Known for their ability to evade detection, neutrinos have been nicknamed "ghost particles." These spooky particles, which were originally thought

Now researchers are building enormous detectors to find out if neutrinos could help solve the mystery of the universe’s matter. The Hyper-Kamiokande experiment in Hida City, Japan, and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment in Lead, S.D., will study neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antine
