Original: 'Ghost particles' from space telescope wins 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded for work detecting 'ghost particles' — neutrinos — using a space telescope, according to BBC coverage. Neutrinos are near-massless particles that pass through matter almost undetected, making them extremely hard to observe. The prize recognises research that opened a new window on the universe through particle detection from space.
Why now: The announcement of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics has just been made, drawing widespread attention.
