The puzzle of neutrinos, seventy years on
Seventy years ago today, Clyde Cowan, Frederick Reines and their colleagues closed a quarter-century hunt with a paper in Science, having caught neutrinos streaming out of a nuclear reactor in South Carolina. The search had begun in December 1930, when Wolfgang Pauli, in a letter to the “radioactive ladies and gentlemen” gathered at a meeting

First steel beams for DUNE start to be lowered
In a major milestone for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) in the US, approximately 4500 tonnes of steel beams will soon be moved 1.5 km underground to build the structural elements of two enormous detectors. CERN is playing a key role in DUNE, an international endeavour to explore the mysterious properties of neutrinos. On 7 May,
