Why Exactly Do We Want to Find Neutrinos?
Neutrinos are among the most common subatomic particles found throughout the cosmos. In addition, it is extremely challenging to identify them.
Weirdly, neutrinos don't seem to add up
Neutrinos likely cause physicists the most trouble out of all the known elementary particles.
There may have just been the discovery of a new elementary particle
Physicists may have recently stumbled onto the long-sought-after new fundamental particle known as the sterile neutrino. This particle has proven difficult to find.
"Elusive" profiles the Higgs boson predictor
All elementary particles, including electrons and quarks, get their mass from the Higgs field, which is related with the Higgs boson.
