…some thousands of light sensors. A more modern machine called IceCube sits inside an ice field in Antarctica with 5,000 blue-light sensors to detect neutrinos from the sun and space. From his perspective, Fuller sees an explosion of interest in neutrino physics because of its fundamental overlap with cosmology and…
