World's smallest neutrino detector observes elusive interactions of particles

World's smallest neutrino detector observes elusive interactions of particles 08/09/2017 10:24 AM EDT In 1974, a Fermilab physicist predicted a new way for ghostly particles called neutrinos to interact with matter. More than four decades later, a UChicago-led team of physicists built the world's smallest neutrino detector to observe the elusive interaction for the first time.
