A feature by the American Institute of Physics examines astrophysicist Francis Halzen and his role in detecting high-energy neutrinos with the IceCube observatory at the South Pole, framing him as a candidate for an individual Nobel Prize. The piece explores what it takes in modern particle astrophysics for one person to be singled out for science's top honor.
Why now: Nobel Prize speculation around Halzen's neutrino work is drawing attention from the physics community.
