The already tiny neutrino’s maximum possible mass has shrunk even further

The KATRIN experiment finds the ethereal particle has a mass less than 0.8 electron volts

The KATRIN experiment (pictured) helps to determine the maximum possible mass of the neutrino by studying electrons emitted in radioactive decays of tritium, a form of hydrogen.

To understand neutrinos, it pays to be small-minded.
