The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics went to Francis Halzen for helping turn a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice into a telescope capable of detecting some of the universe’s most elusive particles: neutrinos. Discover how IceCube uses these ghost particles to trace cosmic rays back to their origins, reveal hidden supermassive black holes, and open an entirely new window on the universe.
