Een onzichtbaarheidsmantel bestaat eigenlijk al: het is een mantel die alle licht opslorpt en dus onzichtbaar is. Maar euh... wat je dan ziet, is een zwarte vlek. En dat is niet wat professor Vincent Ginis in gedachten heeft. Hij werkt aan een onzichtbaarheidsmantel die ervoor zorgt dat je door iemand heen kan kijken. Héél spectaculair én... binnenkort bestaat het!

A consortium of Belgian, British and French scientists, including physicists from the VUB, has deployed a new kind of neutrino detector at the BR2 research reactor of SCK•CEN in Mol. After the discovery of the Higgs boson, the researchers are getting closer to achieve one of the biggest challenges in Science: detecting a new kind of elementary particle, the sterile neutrino.
