The Mysterious Origins of the Most Energetic Neutrino Ever Detected

wired.com Jorge Garay 2025-11-16 06:00:00

In February 2023, a cosmic particle detector housed deep in the Mediterranean Sea recorded the arrival of a neutrino with approximately 20 to 30 times more energy than any other neutrino documented previously. Labelled KM3-230213A, the particle had a calculated energy of 220 petaelectronvolts (PeV), far greater than the 10 PeV of the previously most energetic neutrino. The finding generated a lot of excitement among physicists, but raised also many questions. Neutrinos are the most abundant par

Show HN: I built a toy TPU that can do inference and training on the XOR problem

Nobody really understands how TPUs work…and neither do we! So we wanted to make this because we wanted to take a shot and try to guess how it works–from the perspective of complete novices! We wanted to do something very challenging to prove to ourselves that we can do anything we put our mind to. The reasoning for why we chose to build a TPU specifically is fairly simple: None of us have real professional experience in hardware design, which, in a way, made the TPU even more appealing since w

Can-Am's first electric ATV can haul more than its gas models

Can-Am, part of the motorsports group BRP that recently introduced electric snowmobiles, has just launched its first electric all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The Outlander Electric is designed to be "whisper quiet" for chores like herding or hunting, but it can actually tow more than its gas-powered counterparts thanks to the high level of torque. Powered by BRP's modular Rotax E-Power drivetrain (also used in the company's electric snowmobiles and motorbikes), the Outlander Electric makes up to 47

The second – likelihoodist – is to create a profile likelihood and take the $q$ quantile. I personally find this approach more intuitive in general because it is contextually picking model parameters, rather than to directly making claims about degrees of belief: we are just trying to pick $p$ such that it captures the first 5% of the likelihood sum of our binomial model. There are at least two general – from first principles – approaches to calculate a lower bound fraction without knowing

Scientists Pitch Bold Plan to Turn Nuclear Waste Into Nuclear Fuel

Nuclear fusion has seen some exciting advances, and the promise of clean, efficient energy does seem to be creeping closer to reality. But skeptics point to practical issues we may not be trying hard enough to solve—issues that will inevitably weigh down our reactors when they finally arrive. A new proposal by Terence Tarnowsky, a nuclear physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, focuses on one key part of the problem: finding a supply of tritium, a fundamental ingredient for fusion.

What Is the Electric Constant and Why Should You Care?

It's fun to think about the fundamental physical constants. These are special values used in our models of the physical universe. They include things like the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and Planck’s constant, and they’re “fundamental” in the sense that we can't derive them theoretically, we can only measure them. We use these in solving physics problems all the time, so it’s easy to take them for granted. But why are there such numbers in nature, and why do they just happen to
