Neutrino

Flavor Oscillation and Energy

Neutrinos can change their type (flavor) as they travel, a phenomenon known as neutrino oscillation. The probability of oscillation depends on the neutrino's energy and the distance traveled. This discovery earned the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics and proves that neutrinos have a tiny but nonzero mass.

Neutrinos are not just elusive—they are also a key to understanding the universe's most fundamental processes, from stellar evolution to the mysteries of cosmic energy scales.

Unlocking the Mystery of Neutrinos: The Universe’s Invisible Messengers

Neutrinos—tiny, nearly massless particles—are some of the most fascinating yet elusive building blocks of the universe. Traveling at near-light speed, they zip through everything, including your body, at this very moment. But why should you care about these ghostly particles?

Neutrinos are nature's perfect messengers. Born in the heart of stars, exploding supernovae, and even nuclear reactions on Earth, they hold secrets about the origins of the cosmos. Unlike light, which can be blocked or scattered, neutrinos pass through matter untouched, making them invaluable for peering into regions of space we can't see with traditional telescopes.

Scientists around the globe are racing to capture these cosmic whispers using massive underground detectors filled with water or ice. Their findings could revolutionize our understanding of dark matter, the Big Bang, and the forces shaping the universe.

Want to join the adventure? Supporting neutrino research means contributing to the next frontier of science, unlocking mysteries that could change life as we know it. The question isn't "Why neutrinos?"—it's "What will they teach us next?"

Neutrinos might be invisible, but their impact on science is anything but. Are you ready to dive into the unknown?
