Nobel in Physics for cosmic particles
The Belgian scientist Francis Hazen received the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2026 in recognition of his contribution to the development of the “IceCube” observatory for detecting cosmic neutrinos. This observatory allows for a better understanding of distant celestial bodies and astronomical phenomena. Completed in 2011, the observatory comprises over 5,160 sensors embedded beneath the ice of the Antarctic continent, designed to capture neutrinos that pass through matter without change. This opens new horizons for studying cosmic events hidden behind clouds and dust. The award is considered unique because it follows more than three decades of dedicated effort, utilizing neutrino data to investigate cosmic phenomena that are invisible through traditional methods.
