Seafloor detector picks up record neutrino while under construction Neutrino was over 10,000 times over the limits of our best particle accelerator.

Detektoru neutrin, který je budován na dně Středozemního moře, se podařil husarský kousek

Zaznamenal úplně nejvíc energetické neutrino, které jsme kdy spatřili

Mělo energii ca 10 000x větší, než dokážeme částicím udělit v našich nejlepších urychlovačích
