Halzen led IceCube’s development at the South Pole and first presented the concept in 1988.

Thousands of sensors in a one-cubic-kilometre ice block register rare light signals from neutrino interactions.

The sought high-energy neutrinos arise from violent processes in distant galaxies, revealing phenomena ordinary telescopes cannot easily observe.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said Halzen’s vision and scientific leadership had been fundamental to IceCube.

I have to emphasise how lucky I was. Because when we started this project, everybody realised this was maybe a good idea, but very few thought it would work, including myself.
— Francis Halzen, speaking at a news conference after winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, about how lucky his idea was
