First neutrino interactions detected at Fermilab: A step toward cracking the dark matter mystery?
The detector can see a whopping 7,000 neutrino interactions daily
In a nutshell: Neutrinos are the most abundant particles in the cosmos. In fact, an astounding 100 trillion of them pass harmlessly through your body every second. Because they rarely interact with other matter, they've earned the nickname "ghost particles." Yet, despite their abundance, they remain some of the trickiest particles to detect in the subatomic world.
