A core-collapse supernova (SN) releases almost all of its energy in the form of neutrinos, which provide a unique opportunity to probe the working machinery of a SN. These sites are prone to neutrino-neutrino refractive effects, which can lead to fascinating collective flavour oscillations among neutrinos. This causes rapid neutrino flavour conversions deep inside the SN even for suppressed mixing angles, with intriguing consequences for the explosion mechanism as well as nucleosynthesis. We review the physics of collective oscillations of neutrinos -- both slow and fast, along with the well-known resonant flavour conversion effects, and discuss the current state-of-the-art of the field. Furthermore, we discuss how neutrinos from a SN can be used to probe novel particle physics properties, extreme values of which are otherwise inaccessible in laboratories.

Dark Matter Capture in Supernovae Modifies Dark Photon Cooling Bounds
Asymmetric dark matter captured in SN progenitors can form a 'dark photosphere' that traps dark photons and reopens SN1987A-excluded parameter space.

A new dark matter direct search based on archaeological Pb
A sensitivity study finds that a proposed 170 kg archaeological-lead PbWO4 cryogenic detector could reach spin-independent dark matter cross-sections near 2 x 10^-46 cm^2 at 20 GeV/c^2 and probe spin-dependent interac...
