PNNL Researchers Develop New Neutrino Detector Design

The most abundant, massive particles in the universe may be ones you've never even heard of: neutrinos. These particles are all around us-even streaming through us-though they almost never interact with other particles. They are so light and weakly interacting that no one has recorded their mass.
