Boffins = scientists in UK speak.

People don’t realize that the Sun generates a huge amount of neutrinos, and every second, 65 billion of the little particles shoot through the area the size of your little fingernail, no matter where you are, because neutrinos go through the earth (and you) like it wasn’t (and you aren’t) even there. Imagine that. No wonder you glow in the dark!
Unfortunately, you have to have a particle generator to do anything with neutrinos, and even then, if you make them, it would seem logical that the huge amount of them coming from the Sun would completely swamp out whatever you were making. So the scientists don’t really have a practical idea or a practical device.
