Neutrinos

Picture
*Neutrinos are fundamental particles that make the universe. They are also one of the least understood

Neutrinos are similar to electrons because neutrinos are electrically neutral, they are not affected by the electromagnetic forces which act on electrons. Neutrinos are affected by a "weak" sub-atomic force of a much shorter range than electromagnetism. Therefore are able to pass through matter without being affected by it.
