IceCube architect Francis Halzen wins physics Nobel
Original: Architect of South Pole observatory wins physics Nobel Francis Halzen honored for work on IceCube Neutrino Observatory,
Francis Halzen has been honored with the physics Nobel Prize for his work creating the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. The detector, embedded in ice near the geographic South Pole, was built to catch neutrinos — ghostly particles from far-off regions of the universe — and has opened a new window on cosmic phenomena. Scientists are congratulating Halzen and celebrating IceCube's role in neutrino astronomy.
Why now: The announcement of the physics Nobel Prize honoring Halzen's IceCube work is fresh news driving discussion.
