Building a better neutrino trap
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
First detected by Los Alamos researchers Frederick Reines and Clyde Cowan in a nuclear reactor in 1956, tiny particles dubbed neutrinos are so abundant they constantly pass through human bodies by the trillions. But despite decades of study, the neutrino's bizarre nature is still little understood. Lab scientists are trying to rectify that.
