Scientists Observe Solar Neutrinos Altering Matter for the First Time
Scientists have directly observed solar neutrinos altering matter for the first time, confirming a decades-old prediction in particle physics. This landmark result provides the lowest-energy measurement of a neutrino–nucleus interaction ever recorded and opens a powerful new way to study elusive neutrinos, nuclear reactions, and the inner working...
