The results of the study reveal that the survival rate of the trees is increased by both the direct seeding of acorns and the planting of nursery-grown seedlings.

KM3NeT, a telescope submerged in the depths of the Mediterranean, detects the highest energy neutrino ever observed

The international KM3NeT collaboration, with the participation of the University of Granada, publishes the detection of a neutrino of unknown origin with a record energy of approximately 220 PeV, making the news in the journal Nature. The finding demonstrates the potential of this experiment to study the cosmos through neutrinos, the second most abundant particle in the universe after light
