South Pole observatory helping study radio bursts from space
Scientists at the IceCube Observatory, the world's largest neutrino detector, are studying "mysterious" fast radio bursts (FRBs) from deep space. The study aims to find if high-energy neutrinos, nearly massless and chargeless subatomic particles, are generated along with FRBs. The detector with 5,160 optical modules is embedded in a cubic kilometre of ice beneath the geographic South Pole.
