哈尔岑利用南极冰层追踪极少与物质相互作用的中微子,从而开启了新型天文学研究。该研究通过冰立方观测站收集数据,揭示了恒星爆炸等宇宙现象。
(德国之声中文网)哈尔岑目前任职于美国威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校,多年来,他担任南极冰立方(IceCube )中微子天文台首席研究员。
哈尔岑发现,南极的冰层可用于追踪中微子,而中微子能穿透地球和人体,不留痕迹。它们极少与物质发生相互作用,因此常被称为“幽灵粒子”。“冰立方”(IceCube)观测站收集中微子相互作用数据,为研究人员提供了关于高能中微子如何产生的信息,甚至可能揭示此前未知的宇宙现象。
瑞典皇家科学院的奥尔森(Eva Olsson)在宣布获奖者的新闻发布会上表示,“这些‘信使’带来了宇宙的信息。它们开启了通往遥远星系的大门,并向我们揭示恒星爆炸的过程。”
诺贝尔物理学奖委员会主席马克·皮尔斯(Mark Pearce)在一份声明中说道:“弗朗西斯·哈尔岑领导一支由研究人员和工程师组成的国际团队,为我们提供了一台非凡的工具。他的坚韧不拔和科学远见为一种新型天文学铺平了道路。”
据路透社报道,2014年美国《史密森尼》杂志(Smithsonian magazine)在颁发“独创性奖”(Ingenuity Awards)时,称哈尔岑为“中微子先生”,盛赞他的“惊人的实验开启了天文学的新时代”。该杂志甚至刊登了一篇讲述他生平的漫画,标题是《一位物理学家对宇宙的探索从南极开始》。
诺贝尔物理学奖由瑞典皇家科学院评选,奖金总额为1200万瑞典克朗(约合120万美元)。这是继周一公布生理学、医学奖之后,今年揭晓的第二个诺贝尔奖项。周三将公布化学奖得主。

Researchers in China have created STERS, a light-triggered hydrogel that uses liquid metal particles to undergo self-sustaining structural changes. The material is designed to evolve alongside living tissue for potential use in robotics and biomedicine.

The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics will be won by Belgian particle physicist Halzen in recognition of his contribution to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos originating from astrophysical processes. He will receive a prize of 12 million Swedish kronor. The award ceremony is scheduled to be held on December 10.

On October 6, local time, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that it would award the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics to Francis Halzen in recognition of his decisive contribution to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources. This article also reviews the history of the Nobel Prize in Physics and its main achievements in recent years.

Francis Halzen has won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.

The National Research Institute awarded the National Research Gold Award for Excellence on October 6, 2026, recognizing the light and multispectral imaging chronic wound healing system developed by the team of Distinguished Professor Lin Zhilong from the Department of Electrical Engineering of National Cheng Kung University. This system improves the diagnosis efficiency of burns and skin wounds, reduces medical burden, and will be used in remote care and diabetic wound management. It has obtained multiple patents and is actually used in Chengda Hospital.
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine will be awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hagermann and Georg Nagel for their discoveries in light-gated ion channels and optogenetics. Optogenetic technology has been used to study brain function and explore clinical applications. Domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies and start-ups have accelerated their deployment in the fields of ophthalmology and central nervous system diseases, and many projects have entered the clinical stage or received regulatory approval.
