On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the detection of tau neutrinos for the first time. Here are a ...

The IceCube neutrino detector has allowed researchers to resolve a debate about what types of particles make up ...

Each flavor leaves a distinct imprint on a detector like IceCube. When a neutrino bangs into another particle, it usually produces a charged particle that corresponds with its flavor.

The IceCube detector was designed to search for high-energy neutrinos and identify their source. The device is buried in 8,000 feet of ice at the South Pole and uses 5,160 sensors. IceCube cannot ...

Scientists at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory have used 60,000 neutrinos to create the first map of the Milky Way made ... "The capabilities provided by the highly sensitive IceCube detector, ...

It may sound like a plot twist out of a science fiction novel, but researchers have detected mysterious radio signals coming ...

Last November, the IceCube team reported the detection of about 80 neutrinos from NGC 1068, a galaxy just 47 million light-years from Earth. Those neutrinos were most likely spewed out as the ...

Deep within the South Pole, spanning one billion tons of ice stands the IceCube Neutrino Observatory — the first detector of its kind. It is equipped with a telescope that can observe the universe’s ...

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is the 800-pound gorilla of large neutrino experiments. It has about 5,000 sensors that have peered intently at a gigaton of ice under the South Pole for over a ...

According to IceCube’s website, it would take about 100 years for a neutrino to interact with a person-sized detector. That’s why neutrino detectors like IceCube (a cubic kilometer of ice in ...
