Nobel physics prize awarded for high-energy neutrino discovery
Original: Nobel prize in physics awarded for discovery of high-energy neutrinos
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded for the discovery of high-energy neutrinos, tiny nearly massless particles that travel across the universe at close to the speed of light. The discovery is credited with opening a new window on cosmic events such as black holes and exploding stars, and scientists are welcoming the recognition of neutrino astronomy.
Why now: The announcement of a Nobel Prize always draws broad attention, and this one honours a major breakthrough in particle physics.
