Scientists have never directly detected dark matter, but some wonder if one high-energy detection in 2023 could be a rare ...
We may already have had our first-ever encounter with dark matter, according to researchers who say a mysteriously ...
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, ...

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 international team behind KM3NeT continues to analyze data, hoping to unravel the mysteries of quantum gravity. Their work, published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, marks a ...
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 ...
