IceCube’s hidden depths revealed in theatrical festival documentary “Messengers”
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a massive astroparticle physics experiment located at the South Pole, is the subject of the final chapter in a new documentary, “Messengers,” from Canadian director Jeffrey Zablotny. The film is a poetic, immersive exploration of three neutrino detectors: SNO+ in Canada, Super-Kamiokande in Japan, and IceCube [...]
Probing the high-energy region using muon neutrinos from the southern sky
Neutrinos are weakly interacting particles that are able to travel unhindered through the cosmos. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, embedded in a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice, searches for neutrinos and captures them at different energies. By measuring the entire spectrum of astrophysical neutrinos, scientists can gain insights into the origin [...]
Week 12 at the Pole
The sun is now below the horizon, but there’s still plenty of light. Most of us experience this period of twilight, where the sun transitions from day to night, over the course of an hour or so each day, but at the South Pole this change stretches over weeks and [...]
