    The detection of neutrino emission from the Milky Way at the @NSF-supported IceCube represents the 3rd source of high-energy neutrinos. More sensitive analyses, coupled with the implementation of machine learning methods, were key in the breakthrough.

    This observation of the Milky Way with high-energy neutrinos will bring us closer to finding specific sources within the galaxy. Once again, neutrinos have given us a new lens with which to observe the obscure universe.

    ✨New IceCube result published today in @Nature!✨ IceCube has seen a Glashow resonance event, a phenomenon predicted by Nobel laureate physicist Sheldon Glashow in 1960 where an electron antineutrino and an electron interact to produce a W– boson. ➡ icecube.wisc.edu/news/press-rel…
