A new way to detect subatomic particles from deep space

Steven Prohira is a neutrino hunter. The postdoctoral researcher at Ohio State's Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics is principal investigator on a new project, the NSF-funded  Radar Echo Telescope (RET), which uses radar to detect neutrinos, tiny particles key to understanding the mysteries of the universe.
