"For years, physicists have been baffled by the discovery of mysterious ghost particles. The scientific name for them is neutrinos, which are neutral sub-atomic particles with no electric charge. They can't be captured using electric or magnetic forces and can freely pass through physical matter. But thanks to a new liquid dome in a futuristic underground observatory located in the hills of China, particle physicists are containing these elusive particles in the hope that it will uncover hidden scientific secrets."
"The sphere contains 20,000 tonnes of a substance known as a liquid scintillator, while neutrinos are constantly fed through the ground from two nearby nuclear power stations. The whole spherical structure is lined with a thin layer of acrylic and contained within a protective cylinder filled with 45,000 tonnes of pure water.

Reporters cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigating financials such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet avoids paywalls and requests donations to continue sending journalists to report both sides, arguing quality journalism should be paid for by those who can afford it. Particle physicists are containing neutrinos in a Chinese underground liquid-scintillator dome that holds 20,000 tonnes of scintillator and is surrounded by 45,000 tonnes of water. Neutrinos interacting with protons produce minute flashes at about 50 per day that are remotely monitored.
