Catching cosmic ghosts at the South Pole!
Francis Halzen has been awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for his "decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin." Sensors buried deep in Antarctic ice detect tiny flashes produced by these elusive particles, opening a new window into the universe’s most powerful events.
This is why I love physics. Even the smallest particles can reveal something extraordinary about our universe.
