Premiul Nobel pentru Fizică a fost câștigat în 2026 de Francis Halzen pentru descoperirea neutrinilor de înaltă energie

In 2026, the 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's work has provided insights into cosmic particle accelerators, which emit particles with energies far exceeding those achievable in laboratories. The IceCube facility, completed in 2011, utilizes Antarctic ice to detect rare high-energy neutrinos, allowing researchers to explore their origins beyond our solar system. Halzen, born in Belgium in 1944, is a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physics followed the award of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Karl Deisseroth and others for their work on light-activated ion channels.
