About 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body every second, and you never notice.

These "ghost particles" barely interact with anything. That's why IceCube buries thousands of light sensors in Antarctic ice: on the rare occasion a neutrino hits an atom, it leaves a faint flash of blue light. This year's Nobel Prize in Physics honours that hunt.
