An Antarctic research facility completed in 2010 has been used by US and international scientists to study subatomic particles from space, but claims on social media that it used directed energy weapons and caused a major 2011 earthquake are false. Researchers say the facility known as the IceCube has a network of optical sensors designed to detect neutrinos for basic science, and a defense expert said it lacks the capacity to produce energy capable of penetrating the Earth.
CU Boulder and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) have signed a Master Research Agreement (MRA), broadening a partnership between the two institutions and opening new collaboration pathways to address critical national security research and workforce needs.
