Electron neutrinos have been experimentally observed for the first time during recent experiments by physicists at CERN, which produced proton-proton collisions at the facility’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Neutrinos are neutral subatomic particles possessing almost no mass. First detected in 1956, they possess 1/2 integral spin like all fermions and rarely react with normal matter except through the weak force. Neutrinos come in three different varieties, associated with electrons, muons, and tau particles. Due to their sparring interactions with matter, all three types of neutrinos are regarded as being among the most elusive particles in the universe. Despite this, physicists...

Now that Donald Trump has announced Sen. JD Vance as his running mate, the Biden campaign is prepared to paint the Ohio Republican as “extreme” and merely an extension of Trump's own positions and record, according to two people familiar with the re-election effort’s thinking. Vance’s position on abortion will be a top issue the Biden campaign highlights, these people said, as well as his views on accepting the results of the 2024 election regardless of who wins. “That’s the ultimate Donald Trump litmus test,” one of the people familiar with the campaign’s thinking said. Biden campaign officials also plan...

One story goes that a more compact intruder galaxy crossed in front of Arp 188 - from right to left in this view - and was slung around...

When he was asked if the shooting was justified, the interviewee explained, “I’m sure in his eyes...

Donald Trump has picked Ohio senator J.D. Vance as his running mate, choosing a grassroots favorite ahead of more seasoned political operators. The former president left it until the last possible moment, using all his showman skills to leave the world guessing, before opting for 39-year-old Vance after the Republican National Convention had already begun in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Vance swept to national attention when he published his bestselling memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy,' in 2016, the year Trump was elected president.

Former President Donald Trump said Monday the recent throwing out of an indictment that was levied against him should be the first of many. Two days after the failed assassination attempt that left him bloodied during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Trump used Truth Social to take aim at the “Witch Hunts” that have been plaguing him. He wrote: As we move forward in Uniting our Nation after the horrific events on Saturday, this dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts —...
