Abstract
Massive neutrinos open up the possibility for a variety of new physical phenomena. Among them are oscillations and double beta decay. Furthermore they influence several fields from particle physics to cosmology. In this article the concept of massive neutrinos is given and the current status of experimental research is extensively reviewed. This includes astrophysical studies of solar, supernova and very high energy neutrinos. Future perspectives are also outlined.
