China’s underground neutrino lab opens to explore ghost particles of the universe
SMRTR summary
China's Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) has begun collecting data after a decade of development. Located 700 meters underground, the facility contains a massive sphere with 20,000 tons of liquid scintillator to detect neutrinos from nearby nuclear plants. JUNO aims to solve the neutrino mass ordering mystery by measuring antineutrino energy spectrums. The international collaboration involving researchers from 17 countries will operate for up to 30 years, potentially transforming our understanding of fundamental physics and the universe.
