The device was only half-finished at the time. Imagine its full potential.

A "ghost particle" discovered by a detector in the Mediterranean carried 30 times more energy than any neutrino observed to date

Physicists have detected the highest-energy 'ghost particle' ever felt on Earth, with nearly 100 times more energy than any neutrino previously detected.

'With this ultra-high energy neutrino, we are opening a new window in our universe.'

'We've just opened a completely new window'

Oceanography, geology, and... particle physics? A new lab does it all without humans.

The recent discovery of a stupendously powerful neutrino has left scientists scratching their heads. New research suggests it could be evidence that Stephen Hawking was right about the nature of black holes and the early universe.

A neutrino with more energy than we've ever seen before was picked up by a detector on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea, and it seems to have a distant cosmic origin

Last month's discovery of the most energetic neutrino yet detected is incredibly exciting for us particle physicists – but it also raises many questions, says Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

Dubbed KM3-230213A, the newly-detected neutrino carried an astonishing energy of 220 peta-electronvolts (PeV), making it one of the most powerful elementary particles ever detected.

A new two-phase approach to building the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment ignites controversy among particle physicists

A neutrino detector submerged in the Mediterranean Sea has sniffed out the most energetic ghost particle yet

Longtime Slashdot reader JoeRobe writes: Scientists associated with the Kilometer Cube Neutrino Telescope, or KM3NeT, have reported detection of an ultra-high energy neutrino deep in the Mediterranean sea. The neutrino reportedly had an energy of 120 million billion electron volts (1.2x10^17 eV, or...

A telescope at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea has captured the highest-energy neutrino known yet. It proves such energies are possible! The post Undersea telescope snags highest-energy neutrino yet observed first appeared on EarthSky.

ARCA's deep-sea sensors near Sicily detect a highly energetic neutrino, potentially revealing secrets about cosmic phenomena and the universe's hidden mysteries.

How do astronomers look for neutrinos? These small, massless particles whiz through the universe at very close to the speed of light. They've been studied since the 1950s and detecting them provides work for a range of very interesting observatories.

The Laboratoire Sous-marin Provence Méditerranée (LSPM) lies 40 km off the coast of Toulon, at a depth of 2,450 m, inaccessible even to sunlight. Through this national research platform run by the CNRS in collaboration with Aix-Marseille University (AMU) and IFREMER, scientists will investigate undersea unknowns while scanning the skies for neutrinos. These elementary particles of extraterrestrial origin know few…
