Solar ghost particles seen flipping carbon atoms in underground detector

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 11, 2025

Scientists have recorded solar neutrinos changing carbon-13 into nitrogen-13 inside the SNO+ detector in Canada, marking the first observation of this specific interaction between neutrinos and carbon nuclei.

Neutrinos, sometimes called ghost particles, rarely interact with matter even though trillions pass through every person each second, and they are produced in nuclear reactions such a
