First post, New results!

Hello Particlebites community! This is my first post as a new contributor to Particlebites. Here's a little bite about me:

Fractional particles in the sky

The Standard Model includes three types of neutrinos---the nearly-massless, charge-less partners of the leptons. Recent measurements from the Planck satellite,
