A new Young Minds EPS group at CREF

The Enrico Fermi Research Center joins the Young Minds project promoted by the European Physical Society (EPS). The initiative consists of the voluntary creation of a group of “young minds” willing to grow and share their knowledge concerning physics and related disciplines, thus contributing to developing and promoting the subject in the European arena. The […]

Is Dark Matter in Galactic Disk?

Press Release: Is Dark Matter in Galactic Disk? Download the PDF version[  In a nutshell In a recent study, a group of researchers at CREF, led by Francesco Sylos Labini, introduced the dark matter disk model, reshaping our interpretation of the dynamics of disk galaxies. This model offers a fresh perspective on the long-standing puzzle surrounding […]

Ranking species in complex ecosystems through nestedness maximization

Identifying the rank of species in a complex ecosystem is a difficult task since the rank of each species invariably depends on the interactions stipulated with other species through the network’s adjacency matrix. A common ranking method in economic and ecological networks is to sort the nodes such that the layout of the reordered adjacency […]

Complexity in self-gravitating systems and dark matter

la ricerca Head of Research Francesco Sylos Labini Scientific content and goals Our research activity has developed along two main lines: the study of galaxy formation and the analysis of data from our Galaxy and external galaxies to measure kinematic properties. The two lines are interconnected because observations of galactic velocity fields are the data […]

Physics for Cultural Heritage
