Congratulations to Francis Halzen of UW-Madison on the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos from deep space!

We're proud that physicist Segev BenZvi was part of the IceCube team behind that landmark 2013 discovery. Today, his research group leads IceCube's real-time search for neutrinos from exploding stars and co-leads the SuperNova Early Warning System.

The next nearby supernova, he says, "will be the observation of the decade." 🌌
