Nobel physics prize for scientist hunting ghost particles in Antarctic ice

Original: Scientist who hunts mysterious ghost particles in the Antarctic ice wins Nobel Prize for physics

A scientist known for detecting elusive 'ghost particles' — neutrinos — in the Antarctic ice has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. The work involves instruments buried deep in the polar ice that catch faint traces of these nearly massless particles arriving from space. The award is being reported widely and is drawing attention to the decades-long effort to observe neutrinos and what they reveal about the universe.

Why now: The announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physics has just made headlines worldwide.
