Francis Halzen wins Nobel Physics Prize for Antarctic neutrino hunt
Original: Francis Halzen wins Nobel physics prize for Antarctic 'ghost particle' hunt
Physicist Francis Halzen has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work hunting 'ghost particles' — neutrinos detected deep beneath the Antarctic ice. Halzen led efforts to build the IceCube observatory at the South Pole, which catches rare neutrino signals to trace cosmic sources. News agencies including Reuters are reporting the announcement, which marks recognition for one of the most ambitious particle-detection projects ever built.
Why now: The Nobel committee has just announced this year's physics prize, drawing immediate global attention.
