The voting phase to choose the winner of the 2018 Global Physics Photowalk opened on the 27th of August. The selection by the national juries was concluded and now the popular vote will be decisive for the choice of the three most beautiful pictures of this edition.

There are also three photographs taken at the Frascati National Laboratories experimental apparata among the 12 Italian finalists in the international competition Photowalk 2018.

The Laboratory will be closed for summer holidays from Monday 6th to Friday 17th August. Have a nice holiday!       Translation by Camilla Paola Maglione, Communications Office INFN-LNF 

Giuseppe Battistoni has been appointed as Director of TIPFA (Trento Institute for Fundamental Physics and Application), the national centre of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics of Trento collaborating with the Università di Trento, the Bruno Kessler Foundation and the Health Authority for Health Services of the Province of Trento. Battistoni will take up office on the 2nd of September.

One of the most fascinating frontiers of fundamental physics is undoubtedly the search for dark matter, or that 27% of all the universe matter of which no direct interactions with ordinary matter have been detected.

It will be held on 10–12 October the 18th edition of Incontri di Fisica 2018, an educational and training course in Modern Physics for high school teachers from all over Italy organized by the INFN Frascati National Laboratories.

Carlo Bernardini, INFN physicist and professor emeritus at the Physics Department of the Sapienza Università di Roma passed away.

Again this year the Frascati National Laboratories had the chance to contribute to the growth of the interest of young generations in the fascinating and complex world of particle physics.

The Regione Lazio will co-finance – for an amount of 1.7 ME – the project LATINO: A Laboratory in Advanced Technologies for INnOvation, aimed at creating a facility at Frascati National Laboratories (LNF) which will provide the scientific community and companies with technologies and expertise developed for particle accelerators.

After twenty years of distinguished career (see http://agenda.infn.it/event/kloe2closing) and while the analyses of the data just collected by KLOE-2 are still ongoing, the KLOE detector bows out and is “parked” in the hall adjacent to the DAFNE building.
