Chasing Shadows: New Breakthrough Brings Elusive Neutrino Mystery Into Focus

In the invisible world of subatomic particles, few are as mysterious—or as difficult to pin down—as the neutrino. These ghostly particles pass through your body by the trillions every second, without leaving a trace. They barely interact with matter, travel at nearly the speed of light, and until recently, their mass remained one of physics’ biggest open questions. Now, researchers from the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment in Germa…
