Deep Under the South Pole, a Novel Telescope Records Ultrahigh-Energy Astrophysical Neutrinos

A neutrino telescope buried, under a mile of ice at the South Pole has been recording the interception of very high energy neutrinos (typically 1012 electron volts, or 1 TeV) for two years now. The AMANDA (Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array) collaboration has begun reporting its first result...
