Completion of the World's Largest Underground Neutrino Detector in China

In China, the world's largest underground neutrino detector has been completed. The facility, as tall as a 12-story building, is located 700 meters underground in Guangdong Province, and its construction took nearly 10 years and $376 million. The sphere will capture neutrinos, mysterious and barely studied particles that are formed, among other places, in black holes and inside stars. They interact very little with matter and move at speeds close to the speed of light. Scientists say the system will greatly advance their study and will be significant for fundamental physics and a better understanding of the universe.
