TL;DR

Physicists at the University of California, Irvine have detected neutrinos created by a particle collider for the first time, using FASER, a particle detector installed at CERN. This discovery will deepen our understanding of subatomic particles and could help with understanding cosmic neutrinos that travel large distances and collide with the Earth. FASER is also designed to help identify the particles that make up dark matter, which physicists think comprises most of the matter in the universe.
