Neutrino research focuses on studying neutrinos, which are tiny, nearly massless particles that rarely interact with matter. These elusive particles are produced in various processes, such as nuclear reactions in the sun and during supernova explosions. Understanding neutrinos can provide insights into fundamental physics, including the nature of matter and the universe.
Scientists use specialized detectors, like those found in the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the Super-Kamiokande, to capture and analyze neutrinos. Research in this field helps address questions about dark matter, nuclear reactions, and the overall structure of the universe, contributing to our understanding of cosmic phenomena.
