The detection, reported online August 3 in Science, has really big implications, says physicist Janet Conrad of MIT, who was not involved with the research. It fills in a missing piece of the standard model, the theory that explains how particles behave: The model predicts that neutrinos interact

Still No Sign of 'Sterile Neutrino' Particle, Candidate for Dark Matter
"It turns out that it is more likely to morph into a sterile neutrino if it goes through a very dense region of matter," Janet Conrad, a professor of physics at MIT and a member of the IceCube collaboration, said in a video released today by Ice Cube explaining the finding. "And so the [Earth

Physicist's bet on the 'God particle' pays off in chocolate coins
In 2005, MIT physicists Frank Wilczek and Janet Conrad made a friendly wager. Wilczek bet that the Higgs boson would be found by scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN. Conrad bet that the elusive subatomic particle would r

Physicists ready data on 'God particle' to explain everything
had this standard model working extremely well and going from triumph to triumph, and this is kind of the last important piece, Wilczek said. He also said he hoped that the discovery would finally persuade his colleague at MIT, Janet Conrad, to concede that he had won a bet they made in 2005.
