Da oggi al 29 giugno i Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso ospiteranno la 15° edizione della conferenza internazionale NUCLEI IN THE COSMOS 2018 (NIC2018).


A rare nuclear reaction that occurs in red giants has been observed for the first time at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. This result was achieved by the LUNA experiment, the world's only accelerator facility running deep underground.


Planets, stars, and galaxies form only the visible portion of the matter in the universe. Greater by far is the share accounted for by invisible "dark matter". Scientists have searched for the particles of dark matter in numerous experiments so far, without a definitive answer on its nature.
