Neutrinos are a class of subatomic particles that are extremely light and exhibit no electric charge. They are classified as elementary particles and belong to the group of fundamental fermions known as leptons. Neutrinos are among the most abundant particles in the universe, with an estimated number of 1057 neutrinos in just one cubic centimeter of space.
