For the first time a theatrical performance will be live broadcasted from the INFN Gran Sasso underground Laboratories. Tomorrow, April 25th, the author and actor Marco Paolini presents his show "ITIS Galileo", live TV from INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory. It is the first time that an Italian scientific research centre houses a theatrical work live broadcasted in prime time.

Menlo Park, Calif. - A 3.2 billion-pixel digital camera designed by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is now one step closer to reality. The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope camera, which will capture the widest, fastest and deepest view of the night sky ever observed, has received "Critical Decision 1" approval by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to move into the next stage of the project.

Geneva, 23 April 2012. CERN1 and the UK's Science and Technology Facilities Council announce the launch of a new Business Incubation Centre (BIC) at the STFC's Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus. The centre will provide a new technology transfer opportunity to bridge the gap between basic science and industry, supporting businesses and entrepreneurs in taking innovative technologies related to high energy physics from technical concept to market reality.

(Phys.org) -- Geomag, the popular children's toy, contains small metal spheres that can be magnetically connected with a click to build a variety of towers, bridges, and sculptures. In a new study, scientists have done something similar on the microscale: they've created a new class of spherical colloids that have tiny magnetic patches embedded beneath their surfaces. In the absence of a magnetic field, the colloidal particles can spontaneously form clusters of controlled size and shape. With the application of an external magnetic field, the clusters can unbind and change their geometry, allowing the structures to reconfigure themselves independent of the chemical conditions of the environment.

The Reactor Experiment for Neutrino Oscillations (RENO) research team announced the first result of the search for the remaining, most elusive puzzle of the neutrino transformation. They have found disappearance of neutrinos emitted from six reactors at the Yonggwang nuclear power plant in Korea, on the way to their 1.4 km distant detector. The exciting result of solving the longstanding secret provides a complete picture of neutrino transformation among three kinds of neutrinos, and opens a bright window of understanding why there is much more matter than antimatter in the Universe today.

Geneva, 5 April 2012. At 00:38 CEST this morning, the LHC shift crew declared 'stable beams' as two 4 TeV proton beams were brought into collision at the LHC's four interaction points. This signals the start of physics data taking by the LHC experiments for 2012. The collision energy of 8 TeV is a new world record, and increases the machine's discovery potential considerably.

A joint research by researchers from two different science fields, elementary particle physics and condensed matter physics, predicted a new phenomenon in magnetic materials with dynamical axion field. Though the feasibility to detect axion by an elementary particle experiment is yet unknown, it is predicted that the new instability may be observed in a condensed matter experiment by adjusting the material. This result will be published in Physical Review Letters. It is the first publication by a joint research between the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) and the Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP).
