The 2021 Bruno Rossi Prize was awarded to Francis Halzen and the IceCube Collaboration “for the discovery of a high-energy neutrino flux of astrophysical origin.” The Bruno Rossi Prize is awarded annually by the High Energy Astrophysics Division of the American Astronomical Society. The 2021 HEAD awards were announced last night at the 237th AAS Meeting, which is being […]
Every year, the IceCube Collaboration sends two winterovers to the South Pole for at least 12 months. Their special duty is to keep the IceCube detector running smoothly. This year, we are delighted to have one new winterover, Josh Veitch-Michaelis, and welcome back a veteran winterover, Martin Wolf. […]
Today marked the end of the 2020 Fall IceCube Collaboration Meeting, the second collaboration meeting held virtually due to the pandemic. Despite its drawbacks, the virtual meeting format has proven beneficial in some respects. This collaboration meeting had 312 registrants, possibly the most of any IceCube Collaboration meeting ever.

The IceCube Collaboration has a robust cohort presenting at the 29th biennial Neutrino conference, the world’s biggest conference in neutrino physics. Three IceCube collaborators will give plenary talks, and there are 30 virtual posters by collaborators. […]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IceCube Collaboration is holding its annual spring collaboration meeting virtually. Sessions began this past week and will continue through May 15. […]
Our number one priority has always been the health and safety of the people that make up IceCube. We are following the precautions outlined by our local, state, and national authorities. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole is fully operational. […]
Katherine Rawlins, a University of Alaska Anchorage physics professor and IceCube collaborator, is spending her sabbatical year flying around the continental United States in her own Cessna 172 airplane. It turns out that IceCube played a role in helping Rawlins achieve her dream of flight. […]
From November 2019 to November 2020, IceCube’s winterovers will be Yuya Makino and John Hardin. Here are some quick facts about the newest members of our South Pole squad. […]
The fall IceCube Collaboration meeting wrapped up last Friday in Chiba, Japan. About two thirds of the collaboration, representing 38 institutions in 11 countries, assembled at Chiba University, the home institution of the International Center for Hadron Astrophysics (ICEHAP) group, from September 16–20. […]
The 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference took place last week at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. There were 82 IceCube contributions at this year’s meeting: two highlight talks, 36 parallel talks, and 43 posters. […]
