## Caption

The Super-Kamiokande (or “Super-K”) detector is one of the largest #neutrino detectors on #Earth, and it may soon get a lot better at #hunting for these elusive little #particles, which are everywhere but interact very weakly with matter. #Scientists at Super-K recently approved a plan to make the detector about thousand times more sensitive by adding a compound called gadolinium sulfate.
