How did the possibility of sterile neutrinos even become a thing? It all dates back to the so-called “solar neutrino problem.

Neutrino detectors don’t grow on trees. Or do they? Forests could one day be used to spot ultra-high-energy neutrinos, a physicist proposes. Trees could act as natural antennas that pick up radio ...
