Physicists Finally Capture High-Energy Cosmic Neutrinos After 40 Years Of Trying

For four decades physicists have tried to detect high-energy cosmic neutrinos, a weakly interacting sub-atomic particle. The quest is finally over as scientists using the IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole have achieved their goal and detected neutrinos that originated from incredible distances outside of our solar system. The results have been published in Science.

The existence of the
