They are known as 'ghost particles', and for the first time a team of physicists has managed to create them in the laboratory. Neutrinos may be among the most abundant subatomic particles in the Universe, but they have no electrical charge and are so light that they barely interact with the rest of matter. In fact, they pass through it cleanly, as if it did not exist and, with rare exceptions, they do not collide or interact with any of the particles that solid objects are made of. With every second that passes and without us even realizing it, billions of neutrinos cross every square centimeter of our skin, and then the rest of the planet we walk on until they emerge as if nothing had happened on the other side. Like authentic subatomic 'spectrums', neutrinos simply slide through matter as if it were not there. And now, finally, the 'ghost' has been captured by a machine.

Each gram of material contains up to 2,000 micrograms of water. The milestone is the most recent result of the Forward Search Experiment, or FASER, a particle detector designed and built by an international group of physicists and installed at CERN. There, FASER scrutinizes and classifies the particles produced by the Large Hadron Collider in search of neutrinos and dark matter.
