I love being able to work on particle astrophysics as a part of such an amazing collaboration!

IceCube meets in Salt Lake City for its fall 2025 collaboration meeting
Earlier this month, more than 150 participants took part in the fall IceCube Collaboration meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. The meeting was hosted by the University of Utah at the L.S. Skaggs Applied Science Building on campus. The official meeting kicked off with opening remarks from University of Utah physics and astronomy department chair […]
Week 40 at the Pole
The summer season personnel have not yet begun arriving at the Pole, but the winterover crew needs some time to get ready for them, so preparations are underway. There are lots of things to do, one of which of course is snow removal. Above we see the IceCube Lab (clearly now…thanks, Sun!) with lots of […]
“Messengers,” documentary film featuring IceCube, screening this fall
“Messengers,” an immersive documentary featuring IceCube, is now playing internationally across a series of film festivals this fall. The new film by Canadian director Jeffrey Zablotny features the South Pole neutrino experiment as part of a surreal, poetic exploration of three groundbreaking particle physics experiments across the world. From a sealed laboratory carved into a […]
Evidence for neutrino emission from X-ray-emitting galaxies
In 2022, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole announced evidence for high-energy neutrinos spewing from the “nearby” active galaxy NGC 1068. One of the brightest X-ray sources in the universe, NGC 1068 is an active galactic nucleus (AGN) with a central, supermassive black hole that actively gobbles up surrounding matter. X-rays shine brightly […]
Exploring the universe through a new astrophysics video game
“Project Hercules” is the latest educational video game from Field Day, an award-winning game design studio based at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research within the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Developed in collaboration with the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC), the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, and a network of […]
Week 39 at the Pole
The sun is up, but it’s still quite low on the horizon. When you face the sun, as in the image above looking at the South Pole Telescope, all of the surroundings are still dark and in shadow. Face away, as in the image below of the IceCube Upgrade drill camp, and all is clear […]
PhD theses granted – Summer 2025
We would like to congratulate the following PhD graduates who successfully defended their theses in the summer of 2025: Kathrine Mørch Groth David Guevel Christoph Günther Yarno Merckx Julian Saffer Shefali Shefali Jessie Thwaites […]
Week 38 at the Pole
Antarctica has sometimes been referred to as the end of the world. But for those who live at the South Pole, there’s a specific place known as the “End of the World.” It’s what they call the area past the storage berms out on the ice. Snow removed from around buildings is often dumped there […]
Search for high-energy neutrinos from the Sun using ten years of IceCube data
Introduction This data release accompanies IceCube’s recent search for high-energy neutrinos from the Sun with 10 years of IceCube and DeepCore data. This analysis set world-leading limits on dark matter scattering and solar atmospheric neutrinos. For further details, refer to the IceCube publication:“Search for high-energy neutrinos from the Sun using ten years of IceCube data,” […]
