What is a neutrino anyway? A look at the science behind this year's Nobel Prize in Physics
Researchers have made important discoveries about neutrinos which is why scientists like Francis Halzen have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics five times. This year's winner, Francis Halzen, contributed to a project that detected and identified high-energy neutrinos from space. He worked on the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.
Why it's good news: It highlights the exciting discoveries being made by scientists about the mysterious particles called neutrinos.
