Space telescope's 'ghost particle' discovery wins Nobel Prize in Physics
Original: 'Ghost particles' from space telescope wins 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded for the detection of 'ghost particles' — neutrinos — using a space telescope. Neutrinos are near-massless particles that pass through matter almost undetected, making them extremely difficult to observe. The award recognises a breakthrough in astrophysics that opens a new way of studying the universe beyond traditional light-based astronomy. Details of the laureates and the specific observations are still emerging.
Why now: The annual Nobel Prize in Physics announcement always draws global attention, and a prize tied to elusive neutrino detection is an especially striking scientific story.
