Wisconsin scientist wins Nobel Prize in physics for neutrino work
Original: Wisconsin scientist wins Nobel Prize in physics for work on high-energy neutrinos
A scientist based in Wisconsin has been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for research on high-energy neutrinos, nearly massless particles that travel at near light speed and are notoriously difficult to detect. The honor recognizes contributions to understanding these elusive particles, which carry information about some of the universe's most violent events.
Why now: The Nobel Prize in physics is one of science's highest honors, and a winner based in Wisconsin gives the story strong regional and international interest.
