Original: Francis Halzen wins Nobel Prize in physics for work on mysterious ghost particles called neutrinos
Francis Halzen has been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on neutrinos, elusive subatomic particles often called ghost particles because they pass through matter almost unnoticed. Halzen is known for leading IceCube, the neutrino observatory buried in the Antarctic ice, which opened a new window on the universe by detecting these particles from cosmic sources.
Why now: The announcement of the Nobel Prize in physics has just been made, drawing attention to Halzen's achievements.
