Premiul Nobel pentru Fizică 2026 a fost acordat belgianului Francis Halzen. Ce a descoperit? • Newsweek România

The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Francis Halzen for his significant contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. Halzen proposed using Antarctic ice to detect neutrinos, leading to the creation of IceCube, which is a cubic kilometer of ice equipped with light sensors. This facility allows researchers to observe neutrinos from high-energy cosmic events, providing insights into the universe's most energetic processes. Neutrinos are elusive particles that can pass through matter without interaction, making them valuable for understanding cosmic phenomena. Halzen's vision has opened new avenues for astrophysical research.
