- Neutrino - Wikipedia
A neutrino ( njuːˈtriːnoʊ new-TREE-noh; denoted by the Greek letter ν) is an elementary particle that interacts via the weak interaction and gravity [2][3] The neutrino is so named because it is electrically neutral and because its rest mass is so small (-ino) that it was long thought to be zero

Neutrinos are therefore the most penetrating of subatomic particles, capable of passing through an enormous number of atoms without causing any reaction Only 1 in 10 billion of these particles, traveling through matter for a distance equal to Earth’s diameter, reacts with a proton or a neutron

Neutrinos are the most abundant particles that have mass in the universe Every time atomic nuclei come together (like in the sun) or break apart (like in a fission reactor or particle accelerator), they produce neutrinos
- What are neutrinos? | Space
Neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles, often called 'ghost particles' because they barely interact with anything else Neutrinos are, however, the most common particle in the universe
- What Is a Neutrino? Neutrino Facts - Science Notes and Projects
Neutrinos travel at speeds approaching the speed of light A neutrino only reacts to gravity and the weak nuclear force (weak interaction) Because of this, it very rarely interacts with matter For example, billions of neutrinos pass through your body every day

Neutrinos are denoted by the Greek symbol ν, or nu (pronounced “new”) But not all neutrinos are the same They come in different types and can be thought of in terms of flavors, masses, and energies Some are antimatter versions There may even be some yet undiscovered kinds of neutrinos!
- The Role of Neutrinos in Understanding the Universe
Neutrinos are elementary particles that belong to the family of leptons, which also includes electrons, muons, and taus Unlike other particles, neutrinos have no electric charge and interact only via the weak nuclear force, one of the four fundamental forces in the universe
- BNL | Brookhaven Neutrino Research
Neutrinos, ghostlike particles that flooded the universe just moments after the Big Bang, are born in the hearts of stars and other nuclear reactions
