The first observation of neutrinos at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider::Neutrinos are tiny and neutrally charged particles accounted for by the Standard Model of particle physics. While they are estimated to be some of the most abundant particles in the universe, observing them has so far proved to be highly challenging, as the probability that they will interact with other matter is low.

This is a massive boon to research. While we already knew about their existence, the difficulty of direct observation of neutrinos makes their study difficult. But now we know we can generate them on-demand.
