How do we detect neutrinos? | Even Bananas 04
Hold on to your hats! Today we’re talking about how to see the invisible – that’s right, it’s detector time. First up, the bizarre story of the world’s first neutrino detector: Project Poltergeist. Then, MicroBooNE scientist Katrina Miller shows us the materials used to build modern detect

The elusive neutrino is the most difficult to detect of the particles of the standard model. However the story is more complex than that. When a neutrino actually interacts, it is easy to detect. However neutrinos interact only rarely. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains

A Telescope Buried in a Gigaton of Ice
Detecting neutrinos is no easy feat. Because they rarely interact with matter, one has to cast a wide net and shield the detector from the much louder, and more interactive particles hitting the Earth at all times. Experimental physicist Francis Halzen's solution was simple—or so he makes

Tracking Satellites in Orbit - Part 1
We've built a couple radio telescope on this channel over the years. The first took a picture of the sky in microwave frequencies and the second took a picture of wifi signals in a building. This time we're scaling up both the size of the telescope and the quality and utility of the build.
