For anyone wondering about the title, by "trap" they mean "detect destructively": there are no stable neutrinos in a bottle in this article. | ||||||||

That would be a wild thing to accomplish, given that neutrinos are created at relativistic speeds, have virtually zero mass, and don’t react with anything but gravity and the weak force. Whatever gravity “trap” you make is going to pale in comparison to the gravity wells around us (earth, the sun, etc) and the weak force scales exponentially with energy. So a slow-moving neutrino would interact even less with the weak force than a relativistic one. | ||||||||

Damn it. Heart rate sky-rocketed from excitement. | ||||||||
