Nobel prize for physics won by Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald

Results and reaction as it happened for second of this week's three top science prizes. It went to the Japanese and Canadian scientists for their work to reveal how neutrinos - elusive subatomic particles - change identities or 'flavours', and expand our understanding of the innermost workings of matter and the universe

Some fulsome praise from Frank Wilczek, American theoretical physicist and himself a Nobel laureate.

% Tiny neutrino masses encouraging for unification, and clear the way for more exotic dark matter, i.e. axions @NobelPrize

Congrats to Kajita, McDonald, NP in physics for neutrino oscillations. Awesomely beautiful experiments, fundamental result @NobelPrize
