   Frederick Reines

   In the early 1950s, working in Hanford and Savannah River laboratories, Reines and his colleague, Clyde Cowan following a method first proposed in 1941 by Wang Ganchang of using the capture of k-electrons to detect the neutrino, developed the detection procedures by which they and a team of researchers in 1956 first detected neutrinos. ... Researchers have concluded that without these natural neutrino processes in exploding supermassive stars, the elements like copper, silver, platinum, and gold that are heavier than iron would not exist; at least no other natural process has been discovered that creates usable quantities of the elements heavier than iron.

   Kamioka Observatory

   Ray Davis's Homestake Experiment was the first to detect solar neutrinos, strong evidence that the nuclear theory of the sun was correct. ... The extra information provided by the electronics further improved the ability to distinguish the neutrino signal from radioactive backgrounds.

   Lepton

   The first evidence for tauon neutrinos came from the observation of missing energy and momentum in tauon decay, analogous to the missing energy and momentum in beta decay leading to the discovery of the electron neutrino. ...

    IceCube Neutrino Observatory

    According to an Associated Press report, scientists at the facility believe they have detected their first neutrinos on January 29, 2006. ... Potentially, the neutrino flux and the gamma ray flux may coincide in certain sources such as gamma ray bursts and supernova remnants, indicating the elusive nature of their origin.
