First detection of an ultra-high-energy neutrino
SMRTR summary
Scientists at the KM3NeT neutrino telescope detected the most energetic neutrino ever observed on February 13, 2023. Named KM3-230213A, it had an estimated energy of 220 PeV. This discovery, published in Nature on February 12, 2025, provides the first evidence of such high-energy neutrinos in the Universe.
The event opens a new chapter in neutrino astronomy and offers insight into extreme astrophysical phenomena. KM3NeT's detection, achieved with only one-tenth of its final configuration, demonstrates the telescope's potential for studying cosmic neutrinos and advancing our understanding of the Universe's most energetic
