China deploys prototype detectors to locate neutrinos in South China Sea

SMRTR summary

Chinese scientists have deployed prototype detectors in the South China Sea to explore building the world's largest underwater neutrino observatory. Placed 1,600 meters deep, this is part of the High-energy Underwater Neutrino Telescope (HUNT) project, which aims to have over 55,000 detectors covering 30 cubic kilometers of ocean. When completed, HUNT could make China a leader in neutrino astronomy and advance understanding of cosmic phenomena.
