Neutrinos

The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Francis Halzen for his pioneering work on detecting high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. The Nobel Committee stated his work has opened the entirely new discipline of neutrino astronomy.

Scientists have detected a long-theorized but never-before-observed cosmic signal deep beneath the Antarctic ice, a breakthrough that could reshape our understanding of high-energy cosmic rays.
