- But what I want to do is contrast those neutrinos with the light.
- The STEREO experiment looked for sterile neutrinos, they didn't find them.
- They're quarks and, and, and electrons and, and neutrinos, and I can give you that list.
- Any given neutrino is kind of all three flavors at once.
- The neutrino goes through the planet Earth and then collides on the opposite side.
- How like are neutrinos like are they conscious?
- And they have different lengths over which the neutrinos could do that changing.
- We have the fermions, which are electrons, muons, Taus, plus they're neutrino cousins.
Examples
-
Observations of solar neutrinos also constitute critical tests of the theory of stellar evolution.
Academic text (1990) -
We only know that because people eventually detected those neutrinos on Earth from the sun.
-
I suppose the neutrino could be described as the missing link between energy and matter.
-
The central question for solar neutrino research is easily stated.
Academic text (1990) -
There appear to be strong neutrino emissions coming from the lake.
-
I believe I know what is causing the neutrino emissions.
-
The neutrino goes through the planet Earth and then collides on the opposite side.
-
A neutrino burst was detected in Sector 106.
-
Trillions of neutrinos flow through the surrounding rock and enter the water every second.
Fiction book (2000) -
We shall concentrate on solar neutrinos because the Sun is the only observable steady source of neutrinos.

Etymology
The word neutrino comes from neutral ('no charge') plus the Italian ending -ino ('little'), and is related to neutron, so it literally means 'little neutral one'. That's why a neutrino is a very small particle with no electric charge that rarely interacts with other matter.
