So, yeahneutrinos areridiculouslylightweight.
Determining the neutrinos mass with precision could offer profound insights into the universes laws.
Are neutrinos getting their mass from theHiggs boson, as other particles do?

Or is there some entirely new mechanism at play?
Enter the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino Experiment, or KATRIN, a 75-foot-long (23-meter-long) blimp-shaped vacuum chamber.
Neutrinos still have plenty of tricks up their subatomic sleeves.
If the neutrino mass were morearound one electronvoltKATRIN could have found its actual value.

What Could It Cost$17 Billion?
CERN says its Future Circular Collider has no technical hurdlesthough the expected costs are exorbitant.
