Most Energetic Neutrino Ever Detected by Mediterranean Sea Telescope

Scientists using the Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) in the Mediterranean Sea have detected the highest-energy neutrino ever recorded. The particle, with an energy of 120 PeV, likely originated from a distant galaxy and traveled almost horizontally across the Earth. Detected in February 2023, the event wasn't analyzed until early 2024, revealing a groundbreaking discovery in high-energy astrophysics.
