“We hope to improve our understanding of neutrino physics, search for signs of dark matter, and ... investigate terrestrial effects relating to our atmosphere.”

Scientists have new tools at their disposal to detect and study the dramatic explosion of a star

Celebrating IceCube’s first decade of discovery For news media The IceCube Laboratory at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. It was the beginning of a grand experiment unlike anything the world had ever seen. Ten years ago today, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory fully opened its eyes for the first time. Over the course of the previous seven years, dozens of intrepid technicians, engineers, and scientists had traveled to the South Pole — one of the coldest, driest and most isolated places on Earth — to build the biggest, strangest telescope in the world....

Deep in the ice sheet at the South Pole, this high-energy particle smashes into an electron and produces another particle, which quickly decays into a shower of secondary particles. The explosion of l...

IceCube detection of high-energy particle proves 60-year-old physics theory The electron antineutrino that created the Glashow resonance event traveled quite a distance before reaching IceCube. This graphic shows its journey; the blue dotted line is the antineutrino’s path. IceCube Collaboration On Dec. 8, 2016, a high-energy particle hurtled to Earth from outer space at close to the speed of light. The particle, an electron antineutrino, smashed into an electron deep inside the ice sheet at the South Pole. This collision produced a particle that quickly decayed into a shower of secondary p...
