Gran Sasso National Laboratories

Gran Sasso National Laboratories is a leading research facility located deep underground in Italy’s Apennine Mountains. Its extensive shielded environment reduces interference from cosmic rays, enabling scientists to study fundamental particles and phenomena such as neutrinos, dark matter, and nuclear physics. The underground setting enhances experimental precision by minimizing background noise, making it ideal for cutting-edge scientific research in particle physics and astrophysics. Managed by Italy’s National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), the lab plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the universe’s basic components.
