On Oct. 6, the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Belgian-born scientist Francis Halzen for his efforts to demystify a rare group of neutrinos, tiny cosmic particles that researchers believe offer clues to how the universe evolved.
asserted
universe → award → clues
Neutrinos are tiny cosmic particles with no electric charge and extraordinarily small mass, making them difficult to detect.
asserted
them → make → charge
Scientists cannot glimpse the mysterious ghost particles zooming around on their own, so they measure what happens when the particles collide with other bits of matter.
asserted
particles → glimpse → matter
Halzen had the idea to turn the vast Antarctic ice into a detector for such collisions.
asserted
Halzen → have → collisions

asserted
that → award → medicine
Many molecules come in versions that look alike but are not exactly identical, like right and left hands.
asserted
that → come → hands
Kagan and Soai found ways to make chemistry pick a side, describing and designing reactions to produce the desired mirror image.
asserted
chemistry → find → image
