Scientist Dennis Duling signs a particle-detecting sensor, part of the newly completed IceCube Neutrino Observatory, in Antarctica in December 2010.

Situated at the geographic South Pole, the U.S. $279 million observatory—the largest of its kind—will search for neutrinos, mysterious subatomic particles that can travel through almost any type of matter.
