Success in the test at LASA of an innovative superconducting coil in MgB2
Performed with success the test of an innovative superconducting coil in MgB2, designed, built and tested by the Superconducting Magnet Group at LASA, in the framework for developing new concepts of magnets for particle accelerators.
BORMIO-2018: The Fourth Topical Workshop on Modern Aspects in Nuclear Structure
The Workshop takes place in Bormio, Italy, from 19 to 24 February 2018. The meeting is jointly organized by Università degli Studi di Milano and Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (sez. Milano), with the local organizers Angela Bracco, Franco Camera, Gianluca Colò and Silvia Leoni.
Letters from Nobel Laureates
At the beginning of January, tidying up a bookcase in the Department of Physics, one of our students found out some documents regarding outstanding scientists of the past. This piece of news aroused the curiosity of a journalist and a piece was published on Corriere della Sera last January 19.

The Department approves a text on the Campus Expo project
The text adopted by the Department on the new Campus project is available (in Italian).
TESLA Technology Collaboration Meeting
The TESLA Technology Collaboration brings together the institutions that develop superconductivity for particle acceleration. Born from the push of high energy physics (TESLA), it has made possible the realization of the analytical machines that will film the biochemical processes and of the power ones for a clean energy. The annual meeting is hosted by the Physics Department on Feb. 06-09 2018 and concludes with two public seminars (and streamed) on the new potential opened up by the development of TESLA Technology.
Electromagnetic counterpart to gravitational wave emission detected
On the 16th of October 2017 two press conferences have announced an historical discovery: the simultaneous detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves from a gamma-ray burst. The event, caused by the merger of two neutron stars, marks the beginning of a new era: the era of gravitational wave astronomy.
