The article discusses China's Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment in Hong Kong. Topics include the measurement of a crucial parameter that describes the behavior of subatomic particles, called neutrinos, by physicists with China's Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing, how understanding neutrinos' behavior may help scientists explain why the universe contains much more matter than antimatter, and the IHEP physicists methodology that helped them find key measurements faster than their competitors.
