Christmas decorations display live neutrinos in the Southern French deep sea - Nikhef
It may look like Christmas decorations, but hundreds of flashing lights in the Nikhef entrance hall show live the impacts of particles in the deep sea off Toulon,...

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 ®LEGO pins as PMTs!

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

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.

🛥️ Welcome ORCA33! 🌞
We had a new successful sea campaign:
1) We reconnected 4 lines previously installed and tested on node 1 to the newly deployed node 2
2) We deployed and connected 5 new lines to node 2
Big thanks to everyone involved for this great step!
