 | | Neutrinos aren't just at Los Alamos; they're everywhere: Every inch of space in the visible world is saturated with trillions of them - but they have a special place at Los Alamos, where they were first discovered 45 years ago by scientists Fred Reines and Clyde Cowan. |
 | | Los Alamos proved the existence of neutrinos in the 1950s by creating a bunch of them - they're made when atoms change states or are merged together in the sun, solar wind, nuclear reactors and particle accelerators - and crashing them into a detector that makes a flash of light when they hit it. |
 | | The lab has proven the existence of several types of neutrinos from the sun, nuclear reactors and distant supernovas, but the ones created in the big bang have yet to be detected, because they move very slowly, Louis said. |
