Scientist developed a way to detect elusive neutrinos
Original: Trillions of ‘ghost particles’ pass through you every second. This scientist figured out how to catch them
Trillions of neutrinos, often called 'ghost particles', pass through the human body every second, and a scientist has now figured out how to catch them. Neutrinos interact so rarely with matter that detecting them has long been one of physics' biggest challenges, and the work is drawing attention for what it could mean for our understanding of the universe.
Why now: A profile of the scientist's breakthrough in detecting neutrinos has renewed public interest in particle physics.
