Record-Breaking High-Energy Particles from Space Detected by Telescope Buried in the Antarctic Ice
17 May 2013—A massive telescope buried in the Antarctic ice has detected 28 extremely high-energy neutrinos -- elementary particles that likely originate outside our solar system. Two of these neutrinos had energies many thousands of times higher than the highest-energy neutrino that any man-made particle accelerator has ever produced, according to a team of IceCube Neutrino Observatory researchers that includes Penn State scientists. Read more about these high-energy neutrinos here.
