megangibson+FollowNeutrinos Just Flipped Carbon—Seriously!Scientists just caught solar neutrinos turning carbon into nitrogen for the first time ever! Using a detector buried deep in a Canadian mine, they spotted these ghostly particles from the Sun making a rare atomic switch. Only a handful of these events happened over a year, but it’s a huge deal for understanding how the universe works at its tiniest level. Who knew the Sun was sending us such wild science? #Science #Neutrinos #SpaceScience10Share
martinezlaura+FollowEarth Is Now a Giant Neutrino Detector?!Imagine building a physics experiment so massive, it literally uses the planet as part of the lab. That’s what’s happening with DUNE, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. Scientists are firing ghostly neutrinos through hundreds of miles of rock to see how they change, hoping to crack the code on why matter exists. It’s like sci-fi, but real—and could totally rewrite what we know about the universe. Wild, right? #Science #DUNE #Neutrinos20Share
Tamara Jones+FollowChina’s Neutrino Detector Just Leveled Up PhysicsThe world’s biggest neutrino detector in China (JUNO) just pulled off what 50 years of experiments couldn’t: ultra-precise measurements of those mysterious ‘ghost particles’ that zoom through us every second. Why does it matter? Neutrinos might be the key to cracking the Standard Model of physics and unlocking secrets about the universe. Imagine—one giant tank, 20,000 tons of liquid, and a shot at rewriting science as we know it. Wild! #Science #Physics #Neutrinos30Share
