The beauty of science is the protagonist once again. The winners of the 2018 edition of Global Physics Photowalk have been announced on 30th September. It is an international contest which welcomes both professional and amateur photographers to the major laboratories around the world, suggesting them to capture protagonists and typical moments of life in a research centre.

The study of ice forming at low temperature on the interstellar dust at the origin of the planetary systems has been carried out by a collaboration among the LERMA Laboratory (Sorbonne, Paris), the CNRS “Laboratoire de Chimie Physique” of the Paris-Saclay University, the CERN of Geneva and the INFN Frascati National Laboratories.
