IceCube detects ghost particles carrying enormous energies
Original: IceCube finds ghost particles with 10 billion times more solar energy
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole has detected neutrinos—often called ghost particles because they barely interact with matter—carrying energies around 10 billion times greater than the particles emitted by the Sun. The finding offers new insight into the most violent cosmic events, such as those near black holes and exploding stars, and pushes the boundaries of what detectors can observe.
Why now: The extreme energy of the detected neutrinos represents a rare and significant observation in particle astrophysics.
