Feb 15, 2025 · Scientists recently shared news of a particle event that has sparked excitement in the physics community. One of the most energetic neutrinos ever recorded was observed in the Mediterranean Sea by the ARCA detector of the KM3NeT project. The astounding neutrino, named KM3-230213A, has caught global attention.

Feb 13, 2025 · The record-breaking neutrino was detected by one of two Cubic Kilometer Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) arrays, located 3,450 meters (11,320 feet) below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. There, 378 modules, each containing 31 light-sensitive detectors, keep watch on the surrounding water for the elusive flash of a neutrino.
