Physicist explores the 'ghost' particles trapped in polar ice

Original: Ghost in the ice | Tyce DeYoung | Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Michigan State University | The Conversation

Tyce DeYoung, a professor of physics and astronomy at Michigan State University, has published an article explaining how scientists use deep ice at the poles to detect neutrinos, often called ghost particles because they pass through matter almost unnoticed. The piece, carried by outlets including BusinessMirror, outlines what these elusive particles reveal about the universe's most violent cosmic events.

Why now: Interest in particle astrophysics and how ice-based observatories detect hard-to-catch neutrinos is drawing readers to the explainer.
