Scientists have never directly detected dark matter, but some wonder if one high-energy detection in 2023 could be a rare ...

A detector hovering over Antarctica has recorded two signals that cannot be explained by the standard model of particle physics.

A massive particle detected deep under the sea may be the first direct evidence of dark matter, sparking excitement and ...

In February 2023, an underwater telescope called KM3NeT, anchored several miles beneath the Mediterranean Sea, recorded the brightest particle track ever seen in the universe. A single flash raced ...

The KM3NeT detector, off the coast of Italy, spotted this “impossible” neutrino in 2023 while it was still under construction. The particle in question was of immense proportions, ...

Earlier this year, KM3NeT researchers announced the detection of the most energetic neutrino yet, a potential step forward in understanding the behavior of these ephemeral and energetic particles.

Does KM3NeT's early detection with ARCA bode well for finally being able to detect such neutrinos more regularly? Advertisement. Advertisement "We certainly hope so!" said de Jong.

In a press-release statement, study co-author Rosa Coniglione, KM3NeT deputy and spokesperson, shared the excitement over this discovery. “Neutrinos … are special cosmic messengers, bringing us unique ...

They are, in fact, detectors for a machine called KM3NeT, designed to search for one of the most mysterious fundamental particles. The machine is still several years from completion, ...

KM3Net is not a conventional telescope. It does not rely on visible light, as astronomers long have, nor on other bits of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as radio waves or gamma rays, that were ...
