Neutrinos do not interact very much with matter, but they can be detected as flashes of light in the 50,000-tonne Super-Kamiokande detector in Japan.
Many of them come from the Sun while others are formed in the Earth's atmosphere by cosmic ray impacts.
The new data confirms that they change as they travel through space which is contrary to current theories of matter.
