In a discovery described as monumental, scientists report that neutrinos have a mass -- an observation that could alter current theories on dark matter and provide clues to the origin of the universe. The findings came from a $100 million detector called Super Kamiokande, buried in an old zinc mine 3250 ft under Mount Ikena in Japan. The detector contains 12.5 million gallons of ultrapure water, and underneath the water is an acre of photomultiplier tubes manufactured by Hamamatsu Corp. The photomultipliers record those occasions when the elusive neutrinos strike an atom of water, producing...Read full article
