Editor's Take

NOVA turns here to the neutrino, the universe's most abundant yet most elusive particle, trillions of which pass through us unnoticed each second. The film visits the vast underground detectors and the scientists trying to catch these ghostly visitors. Its interest lies in the ingenuity required to observe something that barely interacts with matter at all. A clear, patient account of a genuinely difficult experimental frontier.

This NOVA documentary follows the worldwide hunt to understand neutrinos, the most abundant yet most elusive particles in the universe. Trillions pass through us every second, but their ghostly nature makes them extraordinarily hard to detect. The film visits the scientists and enormous underground detectors trying to catch them and unlock their secrets. Clear and captivating, it turns particle physics into a global mystery.
