The recently commissioned MicroBooNE experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has reached a major milestone: It detected its first neutrinos on Oct. 15, marking the beginning of detailed studies of these fundamental particles whose properties could be linked to dark matter, matter's dominance over antimatter in the universe and the evolution of the entire cosmos since the Big Bang.

If the Higgs really decays into photons at too fast a rate, it would offer some clues as to where to look for new physics that might explain mysteries like dark matter, gravity and the dearth of antimatter in the universe. (newscientist.com)
He expects an upcoming detector, DUNE, to offer clues to why matter — the very stuff of our existence — far overweighs antimatter in the universe. (sciencenews.org)
