- Recent developments in neutrino research have come from the KM3NeT (Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope) Collaboration.
- It is an international effort focused on constructing deep-sea observatories.
- The KM3NeT Collaboration unites more than 360 experts from 68 institutions in 21 countries.
- This team is constructing observatories deep beneath the Mediterranean Sea.
- Neutrinos are subatomic particles that are electrically neutral and have a very small mass.
- They recently recorded a ghost particle in the Mediterranean Sea with the ARCA detector of the KM3NeT project.
- The astounding neutrino, named KM3-230213A.
- Researchers estimate its energy at about 220 million billion.
- KM3NeT composed of two detectors called ARCA and ORCA.
- ARCA is located about 50 miles from Portopalo di Capo Passero, Sicily, at a depth of 11,319 feet.
- ORCA is positioned near Toulon, France, at a depth of 8,038 feet.
