One of the most important topics in science is being investigated inside a lab tucked away above the fog of South Dakota’s forests: why the universe exists?
A another group of Japanese scientists, who are several years ahead of them, are competing with them for the solution.
The origins of planets, stars, and galaxies are beyond the current understanding of astronomy. In an effort to uncover answers, both teams are constructing detectors that investigate a subatomic particle known as a neutrino.
The appropriately called Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (Dune) is where US scientists are trying to find the solution.
