PROGLAŠEN DOBITNIK NOBELOVE NAGRADE ZA FIZIKU: Nagrađen zbog ovog velikog otkrića
- The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Francis Halzen from the University of Wisconsin-Madison for his pivotal contribution to the IceCube Observatory and the discovery of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos.
- Halzen proposed in 1988 using the ice at the South Pole to detect neutrinos, leading to the construction of the IceCube detector, which identifies neutrinos through flashes of light produced when they interact with atomic nuclei.
- The Nobel Committee stated that neutrinos provide information about cosmic sources that cannot be obtained through other means, and the data collected by IceCube could contribute to a better understanding of extreme cosmic environments.
