What are neutrinos?

Neutrinos are particles with the smallest mass, the weakest interaction, and no electric charge. Neutrinos change as they travel and their oscillations could tell why the universe exists. U of M physicists discovered the third of the three neutrino types and are measuring the oscillations of neutrinos shot through the earth from Chicago to the U of M laboratory in northern Minnesota.
