Magnet-Based Particle Detector Determines Neutrino Mass

MIT scientists have created a new particle detector that identifies individual electrons in a radioactive gas. When the gas produces electrons after decay, this new tabletop detector traps them in a magnetic bottle using a magnet. The weak signals produced by the electrons are collected by a radio antenna in order to precisely map the activity of the electrons over several milliseconds.
