Help in the hunt for neutrinos while exploring deep-sea ecosystems

I AM heading under the sea to help physicists find traces of one of the universe’s most mysterious particles. You can join me by participating in the Deep Sea Explorers project, which is looking for volunteers to remove noise from data collected by the KiloMeter Cube Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

Neutrinos are tiny, invisible elementary particles that are extremely elusive and difficult to observe under normal conditions. But when neutrinos interact with matter, the resulting charged particles that are produced emit shock waves of bluish light known as Cherenkov radiation, which KM3NeT can …
