All the Bits Fit to Print
New neutrino experiments may illuminate matter-antimatter imbalance.
Scientists are investigating neutrinos to understand why the universe contains more matter than antimatter, a fundamental mystery since the Big Bang.
Why it matters: Neutrinos might reveal why matter survived antimatter annihilation, enabling the universe and life to exist.
Experiments underway: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will test neutrino-antineutrino differences and CP symmetry violation starting by 2029.
The big picture: Discovering neutrino CP violation could challenge the Standard Model and hint at new physics beyond current theories.
Commenters say: Readers emphasize excitement about neutrino research's potential to solve cosmic mysteries while noting the technical challenges ahead.
