The Borexino scientific collaboration, an experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories, publishes today, November 25th, 2020, in Nature the announcement of the first ever detection of neutrinos produced in the Sun by the CNO cycle (carbon-nitrogen-oxygen). It is an experimental result of historical value, which completes a chapter of physics that started in the 1930 decade of the last century. The implication of this new measure for understanding stellar mechanisms is enormous: in fact, since the CNO cycle is predominant in the most massive stars than the Sun,...

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting shortage of ventilators, the DarkSide collaboration develops a new model of easily produced and low-cost mechanical ventilators. A prototype has already been made and is now being tested in an Italian hospital.
En réponse à la pandémie de Covid-19 et au manque de respirateurs qui en résulte, la collaboration DarkSide développe un nouveau modèle de ventilateurs mécaniques faciles à produire et à faible coût.
Le 25 janvier 2020, la Collaboration KM3NeT-France, dont fait partie le laboratoire APC, a mis à la mer deux nouvelles lignes de détection.
