After 50 years, scientists finally catch elusive neutrinos near a reactor


A tiny 3 kg detector has made a huge leap in neutrino science by detecting rare CEvNS interactions at a Swiss reactor. This elusive effect, long predicted and hard to measure, was captured with unprecedented clarity. The achievement could kick off a new era of compact, mobile neutrino detectors with powerful applications.
