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. 

Again this year the Frascati National Laboratories get ready to host about 100 high school students from all over Italy.

On the next 25th of June (10 a.m.), at National Laboratory of Frascati (LNF), it will be held a new date of SeminarIndustriali 2018, an initiative aiming at communicating the main innovations in the field of Technology Transfer and promoting the dialogue among the world of research, companies and society.

On the 5th of May at 4.05 am the NASA Martian lander InSight was successfully launched from the American Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The event took place in the presence of researchers and Members of the space agencies of the countries participating in the mission, among which France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy.

On the 16th of May 2018 at the INFN Frascati National Laboratories will be held the second day devoted to gender equality in physics, result of a collaboration between the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the National Research Council (CNR).
