Neutrinos

Neutrinos are subatomic particles that are classified as elementary particles. They are extremely small and have no electric charge, making them difficult to detect. Neutrinos are created in various processes, including nuclear reactions and the decay of other particles. They play a significant role in many astrophysical phenomena, such as the evolution of stars and the formation of black holes.
