Belgian physicist Professor Francis Halzen has won the Nobel Prize in Physics for pioneering work on an observatory that detects particles from space.
The observatory’s purpose is to identify elusive space-born particles, described in the reporting as “ghost particles”. Halzen’s contribution to developing the facility has been recognised by the Nobel committee through the award.
The work focuses on observing particles that originate beyond Earth. The supplied information does not provide further details about the observatory’s location, the date of the announcement or the other recipients of the prize.
Halzen is a Belgian physicist, and the award acknowledges his pioneering role in creating an instrument capable of detecting these particles. No further comments or reactions were included in the available material.
