Francis Halzen won the 2026 Nobel prize in physics for helping create the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, which uses a cubic kilometre of Antarctic ice to detect high-energy neutrinos from deep space.

Their ghost-like behaviour makes them exceptionally difficult to detect. Neutrinos are among the most elusive particles known to science. They have no electric charge, an extremely small mass and ...

Francis Halzen, who was awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics, found a new way to study neutrinos — by turning a block of ice under the Antarctic into a detector for these tiny, elusive particles ...
