Underneath a granite hill in southern China, a massive detector is nearly complete that will sniff out the mysterious ghost particles lurking around us. The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory will soon begin the difficult task of spotting neutrinos: tiny cosmic particles with a mind-bogglingly small mass.

China is nearing completion of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a $300 million facility designed to detect elusive universe's most elusive particles–– neutrinos.

Scientists believe neutrinos, or "ghost particles" as they've been called, could have helped write the earliest rules of matter. View on euronews
