The Nobel Prize in Physics 2026

Francis Halzen realized that ice at the South Pole could be used to track particles known as neutrinos. 

His vision and scientific leadership have been fundamental for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory – a cubic kilometre of ice that is equipped with light sensors.

Using IceCube, researchers can capture neutrinos from extremely energy-rich processes in the distant universe.
