Abstract
Neutrino astrophysics offers new perspectives on Universe investigation: high-energy neutrinos, produced by the most energetic phenomena in our Galaxy and in the Universe, carry complementary information with respect to photons. While the small interaction cross-section of neutrinos allows them to come from the core of astrophysical objects, it is also a drawback, as their detection requires a large target mass. This is why it is convenient to place neutrino telescopes in natural locations, like deep underwater or under-ice sites. In order to supply for such extremely hostile environmental conditions, new frontiers technologies are under development. We shortly discuss the motivations for HE neutrino astrophysics; a full and detailed version is reported in T. Chiarusi and M. Spurio, High-Energy Astrophysics with Neutrino Telescopes, arXiv:0906.2634 [astro.ph.HE].
