neutrinos (Noun (plural))

Neutrinos are subatomic particles that have a very small mass and no electric charge, making them extremely difficult to detect. They are produced by nuclear reactions in stars, including our Sun, and travel through space at nearly the speed of light.

💡 Memory Tip

Think of a 'New Tree' (Neu-tri) that is 'No' (no) charge. A tiny ghost in a new tree.
