A groundbreaking venture in Antarctic exploration will see a Thai researcher from Chiang Mai University join an international contingent of 350 scientists from 14 nations, as part of the IceCube Upgrade project at the South Pole. This marks a significant milestone as the first time a Thai researcher will participate in this frontier of scientific discovery. The project, a joint initiative between Thailand and the United States, will be executed at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, as confirmed by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation.
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, known colloquially as IceCube, is stationed at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. The observatory is a cubic-kilometre particle detector, embedded in the Antarctic ice near the station, extending beneath the surface to a depth of…
