Physicists detect record-breaking neutrino near France

Physicists have detected the most energetic neutrino ever recorded, with an energy level 10,000 times greater than those produced by Earth’s particle accelerators. This discovery was made by the KM3NeT experiment in the Mediterranean Sea, near Toulon, France. The neutrino, detected nearly two years ago, was identified through a secondary particle called a muon. Researchers believe it originated from outside our galaxy, possibly from a supermassive black hole or a cosmic ray interaction. This finding opens new avenues for understanding high-energy processes in the universe. It also encourages further neutrino research, including upcoming projects like the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment off the coast of British Columbia.
