Neutrinos

  • The same lab that first reported the shocking results last September, which could have upended much of modern physics, has now reported that the subatomic particles called neutrinos respect the cosmic speed limit.

  • Eight months after the multinational Opera team of researchers caused an uproar among physicists with its findings that some neutrinos appeared to travel faster than light, its findings have been officially refuted.
  • (TechNewsWorld)
  • The faster-than-light neutrino saga is officially over. Today, at the Neutrino 2012 conference in Kyoto, Japan, the OPERA collaboration announced that according to their latest measurements, neutrinos travel at almost exactly the speed of light.

  • Foolish humans. Such hubris to think that we could dethrone Einsteinian special relativity, by virtue of a single experiment. Now its official: the notion that neutrinos could travel faster than the speed of light really was the result of a faulty kit.

  • TOKYO: A team of scientists who last year suggested neutrinos could travel faster than light conceded Friday that Einstein was right and the sub-atomic particles are — like everything else – bound by the universe's speed limit.

  • The final nail in the coffin may have been dealt to the idea that neutrino particles can travel faster than light.
  • (msnbc.com)
  • Researchers at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (Cern) who announced last year that sub-atomic particles called neutrinos could travel faster than the speed of light have admitted errors in their work and that Albert Einstein was right.
  • (swissinfo)
  • Four experiments showed that neutrinos don't move faster than the speed of light, providing evidence that an earlier measurement was inaccurate, according to the institute in charge of the research project.
  • (Hamilton Spectator)
  • An international collaboration of researchers has just placed the most precise set of restraints on the nature of neutrinoless double beta decay, a form of atomic decay that can be used to establish the mass of neutrinos with great precision.
