Chinese and American physicists have made a pivotal breakthrough in the study of neutrinos, which may explain the predominance of matter over antimatter in the universe.
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, a multinational collaboration operating in south China, reported Thursday the first results of its search for the last, most elusive piece of a long standing puzzle: how is it that neutrinos can appear to vanish as they travel?
The surprising answer opens a gateway to a new understanding of fundamental physics and may eventually solve the riddle of why there is far more ordinary matter than antimatter in the universe.
