Kamiokande

Kamiokande was a large scientific experiment in Japan designed to detect tiny particles called neutrinos, which are produced by the sun and cosmic events. It used a massive tank filled with pure water and thousands of sensitive detectors to observe faint flashes of light caused when neutrinos interact with water molecules. This helped scientists study fundamental particles and proved that neutrinos have mass, challenging previous theories. Kamiokande's groundbreaking work improved understanding of the sun's processes and earned recognition for advancing particle physics and astrophysics.
