Original: Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to ‘ghost particle’ scientist
The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to a scientist known for work on the 'ghost particle', the nickname for the neutrino, a particle so elusive it passes through matter almost undetected. The award highlights the importance of neutrino research to understanding the fundamental laws of physics. Reactions are still coming in as the announcement draws attention to the field of particle physics.
Why now: The annual Nobel Prize announcements always generate global attention, and this year's physics award going to neutrino research is fresh news.
