Physicist Joshua Spitz, doctoral student Benjamin Bogart, and the MicroBooNE team conclude there is less than a 5% chance that anomalies in earlier neutrino experiments can be explained by the existence of a single new particle.
Pushing the limits of physics, the international team has shown that quantum oscillations—once thought confined to a material’s surface—can originate within its core, reshaping how scientists understand conductors, insulators, and everything in between.
