NonilexThe neutrino left its trail while the observatory, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ARCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ARCA</a>, anchored deep in the Mediterranean Sea, was still under construction.“We’ve never seen a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/neutrino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neutrino</a> this energetic, & we have been looking for them for a few decades now,” Wissel said. “We’re trying to understand what the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/universe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#universe</a> is capable of & how it does it — & this one neutrino is exciting.”<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/KM3NeT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KM3NeT</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophysics</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#physics</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a>

Nonilex<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Neutrinos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neutrinos</a> weigh almost nothing & have no charge. They are generated by <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nuclear</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/fusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fusion</a> reactions inside the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/sun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sun</a>. Trillions stream through our bodies constantly, without anyone noticing.  But they are also generated outside our <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/galaxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galaxy</a>, & because they rarely interact w/matter, they travel in straight lines from their origins to us—like arrows that pinpoint exactly where they came from. That can help scientists searching the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/universe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#universe</a> for astrophysical phenomena.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/KM3NeT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KM3NeT</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophysics</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#physics</a>

Nonilex“It’s incredible, right?” <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/neutrino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neutrino</a> physicist Paschal Coyle, a member of the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/KM3Net" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KM3Net</a> team that did the research, said. “There are these objects in the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/universe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#universe</a> that can accelerate particles to such extreme energies. How that’s done, we don’t completely understand yet. So every piece of information that gives us a clue of the processes involved in achieving such high <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#energy</a> — this is one of the main goals of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a>.”<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#physics</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophysics</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/cosmos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cosmos</a>

NonilexJust as astronomers use telescopes that observe the light from stars to explore & explain the universe, scientists have set up massive telescopes deep in water & ice to measure <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/neutrino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neutrino</a>. These cosmic messengers can travel undisturbed over vast distances, carrying information about mysterious high-<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#energy</a> events that generate them.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#physics</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophysics</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/KM3NeT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KM3NeT</a>

NonilexAn international team of scientists announced Wed the detection of an extraordinary, elusive <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/neutrino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neutrino</a> — a tiny, subatomic particle that flitted at close to the speed of light toward an undersea detector off the coast of Sicily carrying about 30k times the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#energy</a> generated by the largest particle accelerator on <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/earth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earth</a>.  The observation, unveiled in the journal <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nature</a>, revealed the highest-energy neutrino ever detected.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/KM3NeT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KM3NeT</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophysics</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/cool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cool</a> <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08543-1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08543-1</a>
