🧊 NEWS: The 2026 #Nobel prize in #physics went to physicist Francis Halzen for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the detection of high-energy #neutrinos from #space.
Built into a cubic kilometer of Antarctic #ice at the #SouthPole, IceCube uses 5,160 optical sensors to catch faint flashes when neutrinos collide with atomic nuclei, letting researchers trace #particles back to distant cosmic sources.
