On the Hunt For Neutrinos

Every second, trillions of particles called neutrinos pass through your body. These particles have a mass so tiny it has never been measured, and they interact so weakly with other matter that it is nearly impossible to detect them, making it very difficult to study their behavior.

IceCube Observatory in Antarctica Confirms Detection of Most Energetic Neutrinos Ever

The IceCube neutrino observatory, a particle detector encompassing a cubic kilometer of ice at the South Pole that records the interactions of the nearly massless sub-atomic particle, recorded a very rare event never seen before. IceCube searches for neutrinos from the most violent astrophysical sou...
