Antineutrinos Detected Under Kilometers of Rock: Breakthrough Using World’s Deepest Laboratory Promises Exciting Future neutrino Experiments and Technology
Toronto, Ontario, Canada – In a groundbreaking discovery back in 2018, scientists in Ontario had a major breakthrough when they detected particles known as antineutrinos using a tank of water buried deep underground. These antineutrinos, originating from a nuclear reactor over 240 kilometers away, interacted with the water molecules, paving the way for new advancements in neutrino experiments and monitoring technology. This remarkable achievement opens up possibilities for using simple, cost-effective, and safe materials to …
