The IceCube experiment at the South Pole has detected several cosmic neutrinos with energies above 1 PeV, & the KM3NeT experiment spotted a neutrino with a record-breaking energy of 220 PeV. These ultrahigh-energy particles could have been produced in the explosive deaths of primordial black holes.
