This Giant Sphere Just Joined the Hunt for ‘Ghost Particles’

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-30 16:55:48

The elusive neutrino—a near massless particle with no charge—tests the limits of physicists’ creativity, but sometimes the answer is just to go big. And the biggest detector of them all has finally joined the search for the so-called “ghost particles.” After a decade of construction, China’s Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) officially began taking data on August 26. The giant, spherical detector lies about 2,300 feet (700 meters) underground and collects antineutrino signals fro

Intel details everything that could go wrong with US taking a 10% stake

Some investors are not happy that Intel agreed to sell the US a 10 percent stake in the company after Donald Trump attacked Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan with a demand to resign. After Intel accepted the deal at a meeting with the president, it alarmed some investors when Trump boasted that his pressure campaign worked, claiming Tan "walked in wanting to keep his job, and he ended up giving us $10 billion for the United States."

The Trump administration promised a fourth wireless carrier — America got a hot mess instead

With Dish Network owner EchoStar selling $23 billion in valuable spectrum to AT&T, any pretense that the TV provider will become a serious wireless competitor is dead. But the project was always doomed to fail, and despite plenty of assurances by the Trump administration and other companies involved, the very obvious writing was always on the wall. More than 9,000 T-Mobile employees lost their jobs, the wireless sector stopped seriously competing on price, and T-Mobile increasingly began to beh

The first stars may not have been as uniformly massive as we thought

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-31 04:16:33

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of stars to form the first planets. The first stars were initially composed of pure hydrogen and helium, and they were massive—hundreds to thousands of times the mass of the Sun and millions of times more luminous. Their short lives ended in enormous explosions called supernovae, so they had neither the
