    Belgian-American particle physicist Francis Halzen won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work creating an observatory to detect some of the universe’s most elusive particles – high-energy neutrinos – and trying to establish how they are made. Halzen, 82, realised that ice at the South Pole could be used to track neutrinos, sometimes known as “ghost particles” for the way they pass through the Earth and our bodies without a trace, and only interact with matter extremely rarely. “The...

    Belgian-American particle physicist Francis Halzen won the 2026 Nobel ⁠Prize in Physics for his work creating an Antarctic observatory of ice to detect high-energy neutrinos, elusive subatomic particles that can reveal otherwise inaccessible information about the cosmos. Halzen, 82, realised that pristine ice at the South Pole could be used to track such neutrinos, sometimes known as “ghost particles” for the way they pass through the Earth without a trace, only interacting with matter...
