Nautilus at the KM3NeT4RR Closing Event in Catania
On February 23, 2026, Nautilus Marine Service GmbH participated in the closing event of the PNRR project KM3NeT4RR in Catania. The event highlighted the scientific and technological achievements of the KM3NeT underwater neutrino telescope, operating at depths of up to 4,000 meters in the Mediterranean Sea.
For many years, Nautilus has supplied pressure-resistant glass housings for the detector’s optical modules and works closely with engineers and scientists. Through close cooperation with engineers and scientists, Nautilus contributes to the safe deployment and long-term performance of these deep-sea instruments. The modules must ensure long-term optical clarity, structural integrity, and absolute sealing reliability under extreme hydrostatic pressure.
A recent milestone of the KM3NeT collaboration was featured on the cover of Nature (February 2025): the detection of the highest-energy cosmic neutrino ever observed.
The event provided an excellent opportunity for professional exchange and for further strengthening collaboration in advanced deep-sea infrastructure.
Ein aktueller wissenschaftlicher Meilenstein der KM3NeT-Kollaboration wurde im Februar 2025 auf dem Titelblatt der Fachzeitschrift Nature vorgestellt: der Nachweis des bislang energiereichsten kosmischen Neutrinos.
Die Veranstaltung bot Gelegenheit zum fachlichen Austausch mit Partnern aus Forschung und Technik sowie zur weiteren Stärkung der Zusammenarbeit im Bereich anspruchsvoller Tiefsee-Infrastruktur.
