SPINE: machine-learning program hunts for ghostly neutrinos

Researchers introduced SPINE, a machine-learning program designed to track neutrinos, particles that barely interact with ordinary matter. The work aims to address open questions in physics, including dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry.

• SPINE applies machine learning to neutrino detection
• Neutrinos interact so weakly they leave almost no trace
• Trillions of neutrinos pass through a person every second
• The research ties into dark matter and matter-antimatter questions
