Dark matter detector
Dark matter detector. Technician Cristina Cozzini of the Gran Sasso Laboratory holding a sapphire crystal encased in copper. This is part of a detector used to look for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), a type of dark matter. The crystal is coated with a thin film of tungsten superconductor. When a WIMP hits the sapphire a small amount of energy is released, which is revealed by the changing resistance of the tungsten film. The Gran Sasso Laboratories are in Abruzzo, Italy. The laboratories are located 1400 metres underground. The rock overlay shields the laboratories from cosmic rays.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Technician Cristina Cozzini of the Gran Sasso Laboratory delicately holds a sapphire crystal encased in copper, showcasing an essential component of a dark matter detector. This cutting-edge device is specifically designed to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), which are believed to be a form of elusive dark matter. The sapphire crystal itself is coated with an ultra-thin film of tungsten superconductor, enhancing its sensitivity to detect WIMP interactions. When a WIMP collides with the crystal, it releases a minuscule amount of energy that causes the resistance of the tungsten film to change. This subtle alteration allows scientists to identify and study these mysterious particles. Located 1400 meters underground within Abruzzo National Park in Italy, the Gran Sasso Laboratories provide an ideal shield against cosmic rays interference. The rock overlay acts as a protective barrier, ensuring accurate measurements and reliable research outcomes. This remarkable image not only showcases advanced technology but also highlights the dedication and expertise of researchers like Cristina Cozzini who tirelessly work towards unraveling the secrets hidden within our universe. With her precise handling and intricate knowledge, she contributes significantly to our understanding of cosmology and astrophysics. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific innovation and natural beauty through this photograph – reminding us that even in darkness lies immense potential for discovery.
