Underwater Neutrino Telescopes Installed in Mediterranean to Study Cosmic Mysteries
Neutrino telescopes have been deployed in the Mediterranean Sea as part of the KM3NeT project to study high-energy cosmic particles. The project aims to detect neutrinos, elusive subatomic particles emitted from space, by using large underwater detectors. These detectors, consisting of glass spheres with photomultiplier tubes, are suspended in the ...
