Compact Neutrino Detector Successfully Identifies Antineutrinos at Nuclear Reactor
A new study reveals that a small neutrino detector, weighing less than three kilograms, has successfully detected antineutrinos at the Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant in Switzerland. Over a 119-day experiment, the device recorded around 400 antineutrinos, matching theoretical predictions. Researchers believe this breakthrough could enhance nuclear mo...
