'Ghost particle' neutrino discovery to help explore Earth's core

A new finding by scientists — including two from the University of Alberta — about the dynamics of high-energy ‘ghost particle’ neutrinos could pave the way for a greater understanding of the structure of the Earth’s core.
Since 2010, researchers at the South Pole have been collecting data about neutrinos at the IceCube Collaboration facility, the world’s biggest neutrino detector, to gain a better understanding of one of the most elusive particles in the
