The seven tau neutrinos thus provide a powerful confirmation of the 2013 discovery by IceCube of astrophysical neutrinos," said Prof. Cowen. The fact that all three neutrino flavors were confirmed ...

Neutrinos had finally been detected, but much remains to be discovered about these tiny particles ... traveling through the earth morphed into another type of neutrino, in this case, the tau neutrino.

"The discovery of astrophysical tau neutrinos also provides a strong confirmation of IceCube’s earlier discovery of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux." To detect neutrinos as they pass ...
