The detection of neutrinos and their properties is one of the top priorities of modern nuclear/particle physics. Neutrinos interact only weakly with matter and might therefore e.g. be used for probing the interior of stars. Neutrino-nucleus experiments constitute a promising tool for detection of neutrinos. The neutral-current neutrino-nucleus interaction is of special interest because it can be used to probe neutrinos of all flavors. We present cross sections for neutral-current neutrino scattering off the stable (92, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 100) molybdenum isotopes. The cross sections are also folded with a two-parameter Fermi-Dirac distribution to obtain realistic estimates of the responses to supernova neutrinos.
