They pass through your body, your walls, and the Earth itself without stopping. Now a team of engineers believes these invisible particles could reshape the future of energy.
Ghost Particles
Far below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, a network of sensors watches the darkness. Suspended in deep water, the instruments of the KM3NeT Neutrino Telescope search for faint flashes of light produced when a neutrino collides with matter. Such events are rare. Neutrinos, among the lightest and most elusive particles known, pass through planets, stars, and human bodies with barely any interaction. Their neutrality and near masslessness allow them to travel across the universe almost undisturbed.
In the chronicles of human innovation, where the relentless pursuit of energy has shaped civilizations, we stand today on the…
