Il CREF promuove linee di ricerca originali e di grande impatto, improntate ai metodi della fisica, ma con un forte carattere interdisciplinare e in relazione con i principali problemi della moderna società della conoscenza.
the research The study of nucleosynthesis, which is the formation of elements found on Earth and throughout the universe, is a fundamental field of research. Its goal is to understand the mechanisms that produce different elements, from the lightest (hydrogen, deuterium, helium, lithium) created during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, to the heavier ones synthesized in the […]
the research The Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Project is an experiment to measure and study cosmic rays on the ground, with an innovative and impactful program for the dissemination of scientific culture. EEE involves installing cosmic muon-tracking telescopes in Italian schools, where students and teachers are involved in all phases, from building the detectors to […]
the research The Statistical Physics and Complex Systems in Natural Sciences project is based on several closely interconnected research areas, each focused on a crucial aspect for understanding and tackling the complexity of natural systems. The main research areas are: applying the Renormalization Group to study the multi-scale properties of heterogeneous complex networks; interdisciplinary applications […]
the research This project explores the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) through an interdisciplinary approach that blends computer science, network science, economics, and sociology. We analyze both the limitations and immense potential of AI to decipher complex social, technological, and and economic dynamics. We then apply these models to conduct innovative research on crucial […]
the research Complexity theory provides a powerful conceptual and methodological framework for analyzing emergent phenomena in social and economic systems. These systems, characterized by multiple interconnected actors and nonlinear dynamics, require approaches that can capture complex relationships and emergent patterns. Since traditional approaches aren’t sufficient to grasp this complexity, this project is divided into three […]
the research The Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model, the dominant framework in cosmology, hypothesizes that 95% of the matter in the universe consists of dark components detectable only indirectly, primarily through their gravitational effects. These effects include galactic kinematics, gravitational lensing, and the large-scale geometry of the universe. In this model, roughly 25% of the […]
the research The Physics for Cultural Heritage project addresses archaeological, artistic, and conservation issues by developing new analytical methods based on material characterization and Machine Learning. The objective is to contribute to the study of composite materials of historical and artistic importance by developing new methodologies for identifying microscopic benchmarks in relation to their archaeological, […]
the research The project focuses on the research conducted in Rome after Enrico Fermi’s departure for the United States in 1939. Using archival and other primary printed sources, we will provide an in-depth description of the research carried out in this new situation, highlighting the most notable characteristics of the general strategic direction chosen by […]
the research The project, conceived for the renovated historical home of the Enrico Fermi Historical Physics Museum and Research Center (CREF), aims to retrace the history of the Royal Institute of Physics during its time on Via Panisperna. It seeks to preserve and share the memory of the key figures and the research that was […]
the research The project is an integrated theoretical and experimental program designed to address open problems in quantum mechanics and its unification with gravity. The research primarily focuses on analyzing the spin-statistics connection and the spontaneous collapse of the wave function. It uses advanced atomic physics techniques in a series of experiments that leverage cutting-edge […]
