Subject: Neutrinos have mass!
Physicists have confirmed that neutrinos, which are thought to have
played a key role during the creation of the Universe, have mass.
This is the first major finding of the US-based Main Injector
Neutrino Oscillation Search (Minos) experiment.
The findings suggest that the Standard Model, which describes how the
building blocks of the Universe behave and interact, needs a revision.
Neutrinos are believed to be vital to our understanding of the Universe.
But scientists know frustratingly little about these fundamental
particles.
The findings build on work carried out by Japanese physicists.
