The giant science experiment hunting for the ’ghost particle’, neutrinos | ABC News

Step inside Super Kamiokande. The tank deep underneath a Japanese mountain is helping to capture clues to the origins of life. Neutrinos are tiny, ghost-like particles. They come from different sources, like our sun and nuclear reactors. They also come from supernovae. Supernovae contain the building blocks of life, so by studying neutrinos, we can explore our own origins. But we don’t actually know what neutrinos look like — they’re smaller than an atom, and they travel at the speed of light. So spottin
