The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Francis Halzen "for his decisive contribution to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin." In this stream, we'll discuss why physicists have been chasing these mysterious, virtually non-interacting particles—neutrinos—for so long, and how the kilometers-thick Antarctic ice cap came in handy. And, of course, we'll discuss what the scientists ultimately discovered, as the mere fact of building a stunning laboratory isn't enough to earn the world's top scientific prize.
