IceCube and @UMDscience played a pivotal role in the 2026 Nobel Prize award for physics! No, not THAT @icecube The IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antartica. 🧊 UMD physicists helped lead the design and construction of IceCube’s computer data systems. ‘IceCube’ examines a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice with more than 5,000 light sensors, buried up to 2.5 kilometers deep. It’s funded by @NSF Congrats @UofMaryland 👏👏👏 @7NewsDC
