The 2026 Nobel Prize of Physics went to Francis Halzen for his leadership in the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Straight from the heart of cosmic chaos, born in the blinding fury of supermassive black holes, exploding stars, and violent galactic collisions, comes the “ghost particles” called neutrinos. These elusive cosmic messengers are difficult to detect, but they carry clues from some of the universe’s most extreme places. Come to our next event to learn all about how detectors in deep Antarctic ice and the rocky landscape of the Andes can help us catch these particles with two neutrino physicists from Harvard, Prof. Carlos Argüelles-Delgado and Kiara Carloni!
