IceCube collaborator Ali Kheirandish received a 2025 International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) Early Career Scientist Prize. Kheirandish accepted the award on July 15 during the opening ceremony of the 39th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC) held in Geneva, Switzerland. He was recognized for “his theoretical insights in…
Blazars are active galactic nuclei (AGN)—supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies—that shoot out powerful jets of particles and light directed at Earth, making them some of the brightest objects in the universe. Because blazars can accelerate particles to extremely high energies, they are an attractive candidate as sources…
Last week was mostly quiet again at the South Pole. The snow drifts continue to grow, as clearly seen in front of the IceCube Lab, above. From farther away, we see the snowed-in IceCube Upgrade hose reel and storage containers, under a bright moon (not sun!) through overcast skies. The…
