For the first time, an international team of scientists presents evidence of high-energy neutrino emission from the Milky Way. The results were published on June 30, 2023 in Science (link). See the press release here. […]
For the first time, an international team of scientists have found evidence of high-energy neutrino emission from NGC 1068, also known as Messier 77, an active galaxy in the constellation Cetus and one of the most familiar and well-studied galaxies to date. The results were published on November 4, 2022 in Science (link). See the […]
On December 8, 2016, IceCube saw a Glashow resonance event, a phenomenon predicted by Nobel laureate physicist Sheldon Glashow in 1960. With this detection, scientists provided another confirmation of the Standard Model of particle physics. It also further demonstrated the ability of IceCube, which detects nearly massless particles called neutrinos using thousands of sensors embedded […]
This album contains images and videos of the first high-energy neutrino flux ever observed. Flavors, directions, and energies of these neutrinos have been found to be incompatible with those expected from the atmospheric muon and neutrino backgrounds and consistent with generic predictions for an additional component of extraterrestrial origin.

After years of drilling holes and deploying DOMs, the IceCube detector was finished on December 18, 2010. See the process here. […]
See the IceCube detector, string configuration by season, the anatomy of a digital optical module (DOM), and a list of all of the DOMs’ names. […]
