Neutrinos are tiny, weakly interacting subatomic particles that can travel astronomical distances undisturbed. As such, they can be traced back to their sources, revealing the mysteries surrounding the cosmos. High-energy neutrinos that originate from the farthest reaches beyond our galaxy are called astrophysical neutrinos and are the main subject of [...]
The 2023 Global Neutrino Network (GNN) Dissertation Prize is awarded to Ibrahim Safa, a postdoctoral research scientist at Nevis Labs of Columbia University. "The GNN dissertation prize recognizes young postdoctoral candidates who have written an outstanding thesis and contributed significantly to the project. Primary criteria of the selection are the [...]
As the sun continues to lower at the South Pole, shadows lengthen and the sky gradually darkens. The station in general has been settling into its winter groove, with everyone “volunteering” in shared activities—dishpit, house mouse (cleaning), greenhouse checks, and trash collection—to keep things running smoothly throughout the winter. Last [...]
