New research has found that by studying all three ‘flavors’ involved in a supernova, they’ve unlocked more clues as to how and why stars die. Any Neapolitan ice cream lover knows three flavors are better than one. New research from Northwestern University has found that by studying all three “flavors” involved in a supernova, they’ve unlocked more clues as to how and why stars die.
Scientists look at neutrinos (subatomic particles) for critical information about supernova explosions. While previous research identified three “flavors” of neutrinos, many researchers continued to simplify studies on the topic by studying “vanilla” while ignoring “chocolate” and “strawberry.”
By including all three flavors in the study, Northwestern researchers have developed a deeper knowledge of d...
