While waiting for the Einstein Telescope, the future European gravitational wave hunter, scientific data collection is already underway in the area of the former Sos Enattos mine in Lula (Nuoro) The first result is the prototype of the super sensitive balance intended for the Archimedes experiment. It could allow the discovery of particles called dark photons, which could constitute the so-called dark matter, i.e.
the invisible and mysterious matter that constitutes 25% of the universe. The results of the study are the result of research coordinated by Enrico Calloni, of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics.
