Demystifying the neutrino

Neutrinos are one of the most important and common subatomic particles in the Universe. They are produced by many natural sources and trillions of them pass through our bodies unnoticed every second. But neutrinos are also one of the most mysterious particles in existence. Ghostly particles Neutrinos have no electric charge, so scientists cannot use electric or magnetic forces to capture them. This makes them nearly impossible to see and detect. These ghostly particles can float through solid matter without a trace. However, physicists studying neutrinos believe they may hold the key to some of the Universe's greatest secrets, such as how the Universe evolved since the Big Bang, leading to the stars and galaxies that we are familiar with.
