More than 250 participants took part in the fall IceCube Collaboration meeting, which wrapped up last week in Madison, Wisconsin. Hosted by the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison), the meeting ran from September 23 through September 27. The collaboration meets in Madison every [...]
IceCube collaborators Naoko Kurahashi Neilson, associate professor in the Department of Physics at Drexel University, and Doug Cowen, professor of physics at Penn State University (PSU), are two of the 2024 fellows announced by the American Physical Society (APS) a few days ago. For Kurahashi Neilson, this award acknowledges her [...]
All around the South Pole, flags are used as markers—they can designate pathways or identify spots where equipment is buried below the surface. They’re especially important in winter to avoid getting lost in the dark when the already cold temperatures are at their coldest. But even in daylight, windy conditions [...]
