Five contemporary Chinese science and engineering projects

Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment

Located in southern China's Guangdong province, the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, famous for studying neutrino mixing, is branching into a new area of neutrino physics. In March 2012, the laboratory announced a precise measurement of the last of the unsolved neutrino "mixing angles," which determines the way neutrinos oscillate. The groundbreaking results promise new insight into why ordinary matter survived after the big bang to form everything visible in our current universe.
