LANCASTER, Pa. — Thermo Pride oil furnaces have been selected to heat 10 mobile drilling structures as part of the National Science Foundation IceCube project at the South Pole. IceCube is a high-energy neutrino telescope, capable — scientists hope — of detecting the subatomic particles that promise a new window to the most distant events in the universe.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison leads the international collaboration of 23 institutions from around the United States and the world on this project.
