Nobel physics prize awarded for Antarctic ghost particle research
Original: Scientist who hunts mysterious ghost particles in the Antarctic ice wins Nobel Prize for physics
A scientist who detects elusive particles known as neutrinos, sometimes called ghost particles, deep in Antarctic ice has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. The honour recognises decades of work capturing these near-massless particles, which pass through matter almost undetected and offer clues about the universe's most violent events. The announcement is drawing wide attention to neutrino astronomy.
Why now: The Nobel Prize in Physics announcement is a major annual news event drawing global attention.
