Borexino experiment

The Borexino experiment is a scientific research project designed to detect and study neutrinos—tiny, nearly massless particles produced by nuclear reactions in the Sun. Located deep underground in Italy to shield from background radiation, Borexino uses a large tank filled with ultra-pure liquid that emits light when neutrinos interact with it. Sensitive detectors capture this light, allowing scientists to analyze neutrino properties and how the Sun generates energy. This helps improve our understanding of both solar physics and fundamental particle behavior, contributing valuable insights into the universe's most elusive particles.
