With IceCube, scientists hope to solve the cosmic-ray puzzle that has plagued them for over a century.

科学家们希望冰方块能帮助解开困扰了他们超过一个世纪的宇宙射线谜题。

Each cable is equipped with another four sensors at the surface, which together make up one IceCube array.

每束电缆还装备了另外四个置于冰面的传感器，这些传感器组合在一起形成了一个冰立方阵列。

IceCube takes advantage of neutrinos´ slipperiness, using Earth as a filter of more interactive particles.

冰立方利用了中微子的滑溜，将地球作为一个对更容易发生相互作用的粒子的过滤器。

An IceCube sensor is dropped into 1 of 86 holes drilled into the Antarctic ice in a December 2010 picture.

在这张拍摄于2010年12月的照片中，一架冰立方传感器正在被放入钻好的冰洞中，这样的冰洞共有86个。

The sensors acquire and store data as well as transmit information to the IceCube Laboratory on the surface.

这种传感器会获取并存储数据，同时将信息传回冰面的冰立方实验室。
