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

KM3NeT will be more powerful than IceCube by a factor of two or three, he said. Not everyone agrees this is the right strategy, however. Fisher, at MIT, ...

Amazingly, KM3NeT detected this particle while under construction, using only 20 percent of its photodetectors. Neutrinos lie at the frontier of scientific unknowns about the universe.

Of KM3NeT’s two detectors, one is dedicated to more mundane atmospheric neutrinos. The other, dubbed ARCA, is located under nearly 3.5 kilometers of water off the coast of Sicily and is designed ...

The KM3NeT made the record-breaking detection on February 13, 2023, when the particle lit up one of its two detectors. ARCA, or the Astroparticle Research with Cosmics in the Abyss, ...

KM3NeT looks about as much like a traditional telescope as, say, a rhinoceros does. It consists of indented spheres of metal standing guard over smaller glass spheres hanging from strings.

Scientists have detected the highest energy ghost particle neutrino ever, but did it come from a supermassive black hole particle accelerator aiming its jet straight at Earth or from a cosmic fossil?

Assuming it is built on schedule, KM3NeT should reveal this hierarchy in about 2023, says de Jong, putting it ahead of rival experiments. Building up So far the KM3NeT consortium has received €31m to ...

KM3NeT consists of two detectors. The first, called ORCA, is 8,038 feet (2,450 meters) deep off the coast of France and is designed to study how neutrinos oscillate between different types of ...
