New discovery is key to understanding neutrino transformations
March 8, 2012:
The joint China-U.S. Daya Bay experiment to explore the multiple personalities of neutrinos announced its first results today (Thursday, Mar. 8), paving the way for further experiments to determine whether neutrinos and antineurtinos have similar split identities. If not, it may provide a clue to why the universe has more matter than antimatter, and thus why we exist.
