University of Delaware (UD) scientists and engineers are currently working at South Pole under very harsh conditions. This research team is one of the many other ones working on the construction of ...
The IceTop surface array of detectors is installed on top of the over mile-long string of optical detectors frozen in deep holes below the snow-covered surface. The surface "eyes" will measure ...
A team representing 26 U.S., European, Japanese, and New Zealand institutions is building a device in Antarctica that will search for high-energy neutrinos. . The device is dubbed IceCube because its ...
It's 40 degrees F below zero (with the wind chill) at the South Pole today. Yet a research team from the University of Delaware is taking it all in stride. The physicists, engineers and technicians ...
The origin of cosmic rays in the universe has confounded scientists for decades. But a study by researchers using data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole reveals new information ...
One of the most frigid places on the planet appears to be an ideal location to help protect humans living and working in the cold of outer space against radiation bursts from the sun. Scientists ...
Scientists recently reported in the journal Space Weather that neutron detectors at the U.S. Antarctic Program’s South Pole Station appear to offer a reasonably reliable early-warning system to detect ...
The origin of cosmic rays in the universe has confounded scientists for decades. But new information that may help unravel the longstanding mystery of exactly how and where they are produced. The ...
