2026 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Francis Halzen for his contributions to the IceCube Observatory and the discovery of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos
The neutrino is perhaps the most mysterious elementary particle. Theoretically postulated in 1930 as a “ghost” particle accompanying the electron in beta decay, it was not experimentally confirmed until 1956,

The coolest place in CAPA!
This summer, CAPA commissioned its new dilution refrigerator. The Bluefors LD250 model reaches temperatures below 10 mK (about 270 times lower than the temperature of deep space) and opens up
Hunting for the axion with a giant magnet
Great news for BabyIAXO. The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved €6 million for the construction of its magnet system, a key component of the experiment that will be installed
