Scientists Just Tore Up a Major Particle Physics Theory

Scientists announced on Wednesday that they have found no evidence for the hypothetical “sterile neutrino,” an extra version of the ghostly neutrino particles that are ubiquitous in the universe. The finding comes from the U.S. Department of Energy–run Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment. Sterile neutrinos are a popular theoretical prediction because they could help explain the cosmos’…
