The high-energy particle stream is imperceptible. Neutrinos and other non-visible radiation bombard our world endlessly, at any time of day or night, and regardless of weather conditions. Even when the Nobel Prize was granted to the two physicists who had succeeded in doing so, few people realized the potential that the scientists’ discovery would open up for humanity at the time. It was still too difficult to detect neutrinos’ extremely weak interactions with matter and give circumstantial evidence for particle mass. Until then, no mass had been assigned to neutrinos, which move through practically any kind of matter without leaving a trace in order to keep the system in its established shape.Īlthough extensions of the Standard Model existed in which neutrinos were not required to be massless in order to provide valid findings, opposition to reformulating the model remained. The surprising results rocked the mainstream understanding of particle physics. For the first time, they were able to clearly assign a mass to them using novel measuring techniques. Separately, Canadian Arthur McDonald and Japanese scientist Takaaki Kajita demonstrated that neutrinos had mass. Even though two researchers were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in the fall of 2015 for their efforts in neutrino research, the hoped-for universal reassessment did not occur.

Initially, it was disputed that it was technically and physically viable to create power from neutrino and other non-visible radiation. Nonetheless, worldwide study has long demonstrated the astonishing potential of neutrino energy: The great technology developed by Neutrino Energy Group, when deployed across a large region, is capable of fixing all of the world’s energy issues in one fell swoop! There are still others who do not perceive – or do not want to realize – the potential of neutrinovoltaics.
