Neutrinos are a unique cosmic messenger which are in the early stages of opening a new window to the universe. Unlike their cosmic brethren, neutrinos are undeflected and unattenuated as they travel cosmic distances to reach the Earth.In recent years IceCube has pioneered the search for astrophysical neutrinos with discoveries of a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux in two different channels of neutrino detection; upward-going muon neutrinos which use the Earth as a shield against background and neutrinos which leave a cascade-like deposit which take advantage of correlations in air showers to remove background.
