Caption

Juan Collar, a professor in physics at the University of Chicago, discusses how the world's smallest neutrino detector was used to observe for the first time an elusive interaction known as coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 3 August, online issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by D. Akimov at Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics in Moscow, Russia, and colleagues was titled, 'Observation of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering.'
