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

I’m heading under the sea to help physicists find traces of one of the most mysterious particles in the universe. The Deep Sea Explorers project is looking for volunteers to denoise data collected by the Kilometer Cube Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

Neutrinos are tiny, invisible particles that are very elusive and difficult to observe under normal conditions. However, when neutrinos interact with matter, the charged particles produced emit shockwaves of bluish light known as Cherenkov radiation, which KM3NeT can do.
