Nuclear plant helps big research

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, a multinational collaboration operating in south China, reported Thursday the first results of its search for the last, most elusive piece of a long standing puzzle: how is it that neutrinos can appear to vanish as they travel?

The surprising answer opens a gateway to a new understanding of fundamental physics and may eventually solve the riddle of why there is far more ordinary matter than antimatter in the universe
