5. Neutrinos
Found Year: 1956
George Cowan and Fred Reines found it.
Location: All around the place
Neutrinos are essentially massless, neutral particles that don’t stop even when they travel through vast amounts of lead. As you read this, neutrinos are probably moving through your body. These phantom particles are created both on Earth and in space. They are produced by the healthy, burning stars’ internal furnaces.

More intense supernova explosions also produce these “phantom” particles. Large-scale neutrino detection project IceCube is now under way. To find out more about these electrically neutral ghost particles, IceCube plans to install neutrino detectors underground, in a big block of ice, and in other subterranean places.
