A neutrino is a fermion, which is a particle that interacts with gravity and

the weak interaction. Neutrinos are electrically neutral and have a very
small rest mass, which was previously thought to be zero. Neutrinos are a
million times smaller than electrons, which have a mass of 9.11 × 10-31
kilograms2.
Neutrinos are the most abundant particles in the universe that have
mass. They are created when atomic nuclei come together or break
apart. For example, the sun and nuclear reactors produce
neutrinos. Bananas also emit neutrinos due to the potassium's natural
radioactivity.
Neutrinos are associated with radioactive phenomena. They have little
mass and no electric charge, and they can pass through the earth because
they only interact weakly with other matter.
Neutrinos are generated in many places, including:

• The birth of the universe


• Inside the sun and stars
• When a massive star explodes
• When cosmic rays collide with the earth's atmosphere
• Inside the earth
• Nuclear reactors
• Accelerators
• Bananas
Neutrinos could potentially be used for communication. However, today's
technology can't detect enough neutrinos to make them useful for
transporting messages.
Neutrino may also refer to a JavaScript framework that uses webpack to
build Node.js and web projects.
