Combination of Radar and Ice can Help Detect Mysterious Neutrinos

These days, one of the greatest enigmas in astrophysics is a minute subatomic particle known as a neutrino. This particle is so tiny that it travels through matter—that is, human bodies, the atmosphere, and the very Earth—without getting detected.
