Neutrinos are very clean messengers to probe a vast number of physics phenomena, among which extensions of the Standard Model that go under the definition of ’new’ physics, such as the identification of dark matter candidates, exotic particles, non-standard interactions in neutrino oscillations, or went under the definition of ’new’ physics until very recently, such as the measurement of oscillation parameters. The new-generation KM3NeT neutrino telescope is currently taking its first data, while its construction is ongoing, with new detection units being deployed periodically. In this talk I will give an overview of indirect dark matter searches, searches for heavy nuclearites and magnetic monopoles, as well as present results and prospects of the measurements of oscillation parameters with atmospheric neutrinos, detailing the case of non-standard interactions.
