KM3NeT joins IPPOG

11 November 2025 – The KM3NeT Collaboration is delighted to announce that it has become a new member of the IPPOG Collaboration.

IPPOG, the International Particle Physics Outreach Group, is a world-wide collaboration aimed at fostering science education and public engagement for particle physics. Membership to IPPOG is possible for research agencies, international and national laboratories and scientific collaborations.

IPPOG develops and supports coordinated activities across all continents, including the celebrated Masterclasses, hands-on cosmic-ray activities and a variety of other initiatives.

Joining IPPOG is in line with the KM3NeT commitment to outreach. It will provide the opportunity for KM3NeT to reinforce its outreach program by means of international synergies, while at the same time allowing to extend the IPPOG activities in various ways: towards cosmology, the deep-sea environment and the properties of the enigmatic neutrinos.

New paper about deep-sea turbulence

17 October 2025 – We present a new paper with the title ‘Whipped and mixed warm clouds in the deep sea‘.

With a unique array of high-resolution temperature sensors we studied the turbulence in the deep sea, for the first time in 3D.

Search for sterile neutrinos with ORCA6

13 October 2025 – We present a new paper with the title ‘‘Search for an eV-scale sterile neutrino with the first six detection units of KM3NeT/ORCA“.

Sterile neutrinos are hypothetical neutrinos proposed by theoretical physicists to explain unexpected experimental results obtained over the course of the past 25 years. Read more

Luc Cerisy wins the 2024 GNN dissertation prize!

15 September 2025 – We warmly congratulate Luc Cerisy (Aix-Marseille Université / CNRS Marseille), who has been awarded the 2024 GNN Dissertation Prize for his doctoral thesis: “First tau neutrino appearance, non-unitary mixing and absolute orientation measurements in KM3NeT”.
