KM3NeT neutrino telescope

@km3net

KM3NeT is a neutrino telescope with two detectors - ARCA and ORCA - at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. It is also an international consortium of research institutes and university groups collaborating to operate the two detectors - www.km3net.org

๐ŸŒŠโœจOne month to go!
The first KM3NeT International Masterclass will take place on March 23, 2026. High-school students will explore neutrino physics and analyse real data from the deep-sea telescope.
More dates may be added (Marchโ€“May 2026).

In KM3NeT, engineering turns theoretical ideas into functioning technology: deploying optical sensors deep in the sea, designing hardware that survives extreme pressure and marine conditions & building ultra-precise timing, data acquisition, and computing systems to detect cosmic neutrinos.

We met last week in the historic heart of Valencia for the first Collaboration Meeting of 2026.
Researchers came together to discuss the latest results from the ARCA and ORCA detectors, plan upcoming sea campaigns, and share progress on different analyses.

The KM3NeT-INFRADEV2 project comes to an end - KM3NeT At 31 December 2025 the EU funded project KM3NeT-INFRADEV2 came to an end. It marks a graceful end of the inclusion of KM3NeT in the ESFRI Roadmap.

The #EU funded #KM3NeT INFRADEV2 project came to an end on 31 December 2025.
During three years it provided strong support towards the full implementation of the KM3NeT Research Infrastructure.

In case you have a Christmas tree at home, and it feels like something is missing... Or in case you'd like to have a nice #science keychain:

Why not 3D print your own #KM3NeT module and decorate it with coloured ยฎLEGO pins as PMTs!

Blazars origin of KM3-230213A? - KM3NeT In a new paper we test the hypothesis that the diffuse flux of blazars can explain the single KM3-230213A neutrino event.

In a new #KM3NeT paper we have investigated whether our record neutrino event #KM3-230213A could come from a blazar.

Unravelling the masses of the three #neutrino types?!

With the #NWO money @nikhef.bsky.social received for #KM3NeT we can bring this dream a step closer.

In addition we received funding for a prototype of an acoustic neutrino detector extension of KM3NeT!
