Scientists have been on the hunt for new physics for decades. One potential source of new physics is neutrinos. Experimental results from different experiments around the globe have pointed to the possibility of dark neutrinos. This new neutrino would dramatically change the standard model if proven true. It would also add many questions into the true composition of dark matter. However, there has been conflicting information on this front. Some experiments have pointed to a new sterile neutrino while others have not. Here I briefly discuss some of these results and the potential new particles that these experiments are pointing to. For more information check out this article [1] which gives a lot of great detail or the official press release from Fermilabs [2].
