CLEAN : Japanese Canadian win Nobel for neutrino work 3

The video discusses the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which earned a Nobel Prize in Physics. It explains how neutrinos can change identities, such as an electron neutrino becoming a tau neutrino. The video highlights the challenge of determining the exact mass of neutrinos, which are much lighter than electrons. The speaker acknowledges the collaborative efforts of colleagues in achieving these scientific advancements.
