    NUSES is a new space mission aiming to test innovative technological and observational approaches related to the study of cosmic radiation, astrophysical neutrinos, Sun-Earth environment, Space weather and magnetosphere-ionosphere-lithosphere coupling. The satellite will host two payloads, Terzina and Ziré. Ziré will perform measurements of electrons, protons and light nuclei from several MeV up to hundreds of MeV, for the study of low energy cosmic rays, space weather phenomena and possible Magnetosphere-Litosphere-Ionosphere Coupling signals. The experiment also aims to test new tools for photon detection in the energy range 0.1–50 MeV, allowing the investigation of transient phenomena and steady gamma sources. Terzina, by pointing towards the Earth’s limb, will monitor the light emissions from above and below the limb. It will observe the Cherenkov light produced by Extensive Air Showers (EASs) generated by cosmic ray primaries at energies E > 10 17 eV above the limb. On the other hand it will prove the observational concept of detecting astrophysical tau neutrinos showers emerging below the limb from the Earth’s crust. The scientific objectives and development status of the NUSES mission are reported.
  • Adaptive Twisting Metamaterials

    Advanced Materials, 2026
    Next‐generation protective systems require adaptive materials capable of reconfiguring their response to impact type and severity, thereby offering multiple force–displacement pathways. Here, the study introduces twisting metamaterials, a subclass of architected lattices whose mechanics are captured by micropolar elasticity. Derived from twisting operations on primitive lattices, these structures exhibit geometry‐induced torsional actuation and nonlinear responses, enabling adaptive crashworthiness. A multiscale predictive framework—combining Cosserat continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and experiments—demonstrates its viability. Twisting sheet‐based gyroid structures (10% relative density) are additively manufactured in FE7131 steel and tested under quasi‐static and dynamic compression with varied torsional constraints, revealing adaptive energy absorption. When rotation is constrained, the structures achieve high axial stiffness (4.8 GPa), collapse stress (21 MPa), and specific energy absorption (15.36 J g −1 ), while free‐to‐twist and over‐rotation conditions reduce these values by up to 25%, 24%, and 33%, respectively. A macroscale model captures both axial and torsional responses, while SEM and µCT analyses of process‐induced defects inform a parametric finite element study extended to 5% and 15% relative densities. Mapping their performance onto an Ashby chart highlights twisting metamaterials as a promising class of mechanically adaptive, crashworthy materials for advanced protection systems in automotive, rail, aerospace, and defence applications.
  • Characterization of laser powder bed fusion metal samples using Bragg edge neutron transmission analysis

    Journal of Applied Crystallography, 2026
    Bragg edge neutron transmission analysis is a non-destructive technique that can be used for the investigation of properties of crystalline solids, such as microstructure, texture, strain or defects. In this work, Bragg edge imaging is applied to characterize additively manufactured metal samples produced via powder bed fusion–laser-based, featuring an innovative star-shaped geometry. This process can induce microstructural inhomogeneities within the material, thereby compromising the mechanical integrity of the final component. For this reason, a comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing process is essential to identify optimal operational parameters. Because of the lack of non-invasive techniques allowing an in-depth study of the microstructure of these samples, Bragg edge imaging is applied for providing detailed quantitative information on the manufacturing process. In this context, the final aim of this work is to investigate how the production process influences the final manufactured components. To study these effects, three different additively manufactured samples made of different metal alloys have been characterized by Bragg edge analysis. Characterization of elastic lattice strain, density of crystallographic defects and texture reveals significant discrepancies between the samples and their respective starting powders. These findings elucidate the various effects induced by the manufacturing process, which alters the crystalline structure of the metal and introduces anisotropy, potentially leading to mechanical failure of the components.

    Materials, 2026
    In fundamental physics, sensors operating below liquid helium temperatures are highly vulnerable to vibrations, which can affect the sensitivity, for example, of high-performance particle detectors. Pulse-tube refrigerators, while generating vibrations lower than those of conventional systems, may still introduce several disturbances. Hence, flexible thermal connections are a commonly used mechanical solution to mitigate these undesirable effects. Among the materials that can be used, ultra-high-purity aluminum (UHP-Al) has attracted the attention for low-amplitude-vibration cryogenic applications, including gravitational wave interferometry, quantum information systems, precision space instrumentation, and cryogenic resonators. Thus, the aim of the paper is the characterization of the mechanical and microstructure properties of three UHP-Als (i.e., 5N—99.999 wt%, 5N5—99.9995 wt% and 6N—99.9999 wt%) intended for the production of thermal flexible connections with low stiffness, specifically designed to reduce vibration transmission in cryogenic environments. Mechanical properties were evaluated through standard tensile tests from room (+25 °C) to low temperature (i.e., −150 °C), providing insights into yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation and elastic modulus. In addition, the dynamic elastic modulus of material loads, at cryogenic conditions (i.e., about −180 °C), was determined by measuring the natural resonance frequency, thereby assessing the material’s response to vibrational. Moreover, an extensive microstructural analysis was conducted using electron backscatter diffraction and x-ray diffraction. The correlation between the observed microstructure and the elastic properties was systematically examined. The results underscore the pivotal role of microstructural characteristics in dictating the elastic behavior of UHP Als. Eventually, the analysis provides valuable guidelines for the materials employment inside cryogenic systems, where severe vibration control is critical to maintain high operational performance.

    GEMINI is an underground research and development facility dedicated to advancing seismic isolation and control technologies for future gravitational-wave observatories, including the Einstein Telescope (ET) and the Lunar Gravitational-Wave Antenna (LGWA). This paper presents the technical design and theoretical framework of GEMINI’s active seismic-isolation platforms, including detailed noise budget analyses, performance predictions, and residual platform-motion evaluations. The GEMINI platforms are designed to achieve unprecedented vibration isolation, targeting motion suppression across the 10 mHz to 10 Hz frequency band, with particular emphasis on the low-frequency regime below a few hertz relevant for ET-LF (low-frequency detector) and LGWA, and with the goal to make them the quietest platforms of their kind. In the context of ET, GEMINI will enable the development and validation of inter-platform control strategies essential for the stabilization of auxiliary degrees of freedom of its interferometers. GEMINI will also support the testing of cryogenic payloads and ultra-sensitive inertial sensors required for LGWA. By integrating advanced cryogenic systems, precision inertial sensors, and state-of-the-art vibration isolation technologies, GEMINI will serve as a versatile testbed for next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave detectors and lunar seismometry missions.
  • Experimental Characterization of a GRCop42-W Multi-Materials Junction, Produced by PBF-LB, for Particle Accelerator Target Assembly
    Daniele Cortis, Cristina Giancarli, Daniela Pilone, Federico Ferraro, Donato Orlandi
    Fusion Science and Technology, 2026
    Powder Bed Fusion–Laser-Based (PBF-LB) technology is widely employed in many fields, but specific highly demanding applications, such as multi-materials (MM), are still not fully investigated. In basic-physics research, experiments operate under extreme conditions to reduce external influences on detectors and to achieve high interaction energies between particles. The opportunity to combine different materials could allow the development of new highly customized components, where the physical properties gradually change along the three directions (x, y, z). Among components that can benefit from this last MM production, there are target holders, beam stops, and target backings. These components must withstand high temperatures and strong thermal gradients without being damaged. All of them must be as transparent as possible to the radiation emitted in the nuclear reactions of interest on its way to the detectors, but beam stops and backings must also be able to stop the beam. High-density or refractory materials, such as tungsten (W) and tantalum, can be used to stop the beam or as target backings. The aim of the paper is experimental characterization of a MM junction between Glenn Research Center Copper (GRCop42) alloy and pure W, produced by PBF-LB technology, for the design of a particle accelerator target assembly. In particular, the 12C+12C fusion reaction measurement case study of the Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics has been considered. The MM junction has been characterized by metallographic analyses and three point bending tests, from room temperature to +300°C. GRCop42 alloy has been selected for its excellent thermal properties, great creep resistance, and strength at high temperatures, while pure W has been selected for its high atomic number, which prevents parasitic reactions on the beam stop. The results show that although W is difficult to process with an ordinary PBF-LB machine because of the high presence of porosity and internal defects, the presence of a thin layer of W on a GRCop42 substrate changes the strain behavior compared to GRCop42 alone. For instance, deformation is less influenced by high temperatures. Furthermore, while the GRCop42-W junction is less continuous than in other MM examples, it still allows sufficient W deposition to completely stop the ion beam.
  • A nonlinear multiphysics model for the design validation of the ASTAROTH copper-steel cryogenic chamber

    Journal of Instrumentation, 2026
    Among the global efforts to directly detect dark matter, the only positive claim so far relies on NaI(Tl) crystal detectors, making this technology of particular interest. ASTAROTH is a project aimed at developing the next generation of such detectors by reading out their scintillation light with SiPM matrices operated at cryogenic temperatures. This paper describes the innovative design of the ASTAROTH cryostat, consisting of a double-walled copper-steel cryogenic chamber that cools the detectors by means of a liquid argon bath. The detectors are thermalized in a helium atmosphere at a temperature tunable from 87 to 150 K. The design has been validated in terms of heat transfer efficiency and mechanical stress, developing a nonlinear multiphysics model. The mechanical properties of OFHC copper were experimentally evaluated on dedicated tensile samples. The simulation results show that the structural integrity is guaranteed. At the highest operating temperature, the region with the steepest temperature gradient exhibits stresses that slightly exceed the yield strength of copper (localized strain-hardened condition). Following construction, the cryostat was commissioned and has been in regular operation for over 30 cooling cycles, with no signs of degradation. The temperature can be tuned across the full target range and remains stable within 0.1 K. These results demonstrate that this is a viable design for next-generation dark matter detectors, as well as for a variety of applications requiring uniform and tunable gas-conducted cooling of instrumentation.

    Materials Today Communications, 2026
    Powder Bed Fusion - Laser Based (PBF-LB) is a widely used additive manufacturing technology for metallic materials, but its application to pure copper remains challenging due to its high reflectivity in the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength range, commonly employed in commercial laser systems. This paper proposes a strategy to overcome this limitation by incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into the powder bed, enabling the PBF-LB manufacturing of pure copper while simultaneously enhancing its functional properties, as demonstrated through multiscale characterization performed at both powder and manufactured level. The work led to the development of a nanocomposite material, patented by the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) and Sapienza University of Rome, known as Dragon Copper, consisting of a pure copper matrix reinforced with CNTs. NIR spectroscopy revealed that the addition of a small amount of CNTs (0.1 wt%) into the copper powder efficiently reduces its reflectivity across all investigated wavelengths, including 1064 nm, the operating wavelength of the PBF-LB laser employed in this study. Thanks to the role of CNTs as efficient laser absorbers, Dragon Copper showed higher densification, enhanced microstructural stability and significant improvements in both tensile strength and ductility compared to pure copper, as confirmed by SEM analysis and tensile tests. Raman spectroscopy demonstrated the preservation of CNTs structural integrity after the PBF-LB process, suggesting their active contribution in mechanical reinforcement. Although moderate reductions in thermal and electrical conductivities, the overall performance of Dragon Copper demonstrates the potential of this approach for advancing PBF-LB manufacturing of high-performance copper components.

    Advances in Space Research, 2026
    NUSES is a space mission scheduled for launch in late 2026 into a Sun-synchronous Low Earth Orbit at 550 km altitude. During its three-year nominal lifetime the satellite will test innovative methods for observing low-energy cosmic and gamma rays, astrophysical neutrinos, and for monitoring space-weather phenomena and lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere–magnetosphere couplings. Two complementary payloads are on board: Terzina, an optical Cherenkov telescope for extensive air showers, and Ziré, a particle detector covering an energy range from a few MeV up to hundreds. To extend Ziré’s sensitivity to lower energies, the Low-Energy Module (LEM) has been developed. The LEM is a compact (10 × 10 × 10 cm 3 ) particle spectrometer capable of measuring electrons from 0.1 to 7 MeV and protons from 3 to 50 MeV along the satellite orbit. A drilled plastic scintillator acts as an active collimator, vetoing off-axis tracks, while five silicon spectrometers, completed by a plastic calorimeter and lateral veto, provide event-by-event identification. This layout yields an angular resolution of about 7 ° for protons and an electron threshold below 30 keV, enabling operations in high-radiation regions such as the South Atlantic Anomaly and the inner Van Allen belt. By tracking variations in trapped-particle fluxes the LEM will investigate precipitation episodes linked to geomagnetic storms, solar flares, thunderstorms, and possible seismic precursors, thus contributing both to space-weather forecasting and to the validation of particle-acceleration and models of Magnetospheric–Ionospheric–Lithospheric Coupling. Preliminary simulations and laboratory tests confirm the feasibility of the design and its expected performance.

    Proceedings of Science, 2025
    The Terzina payload, onboard the NUSES space mission is being built in collaboration with TAS-I by GSSI, INFN and the University of Geneva. It is a Cherenkov Schmidt-Cassegrain compact telescope with an effective focal length of 925~m and a camera focal assembly composed of 640 pixels (16 vertically and 40 horizontally) organized in 8x8 tiles produced by FBK with sensitive area 2.9x2.6 mm^2. We will illustrate the performance for the signal of cosmic rays beyond a threshold of few hundreds of PeV. Understanding the operation of SiPMs in space with almost direct exposure to solar and trapped protons and electrons, defining the mitigation strategy for the increase of DCR of exposed silicon, the characterisation of the luminous backgrounds, the data acquisition strategy for this payload, the maximization of the effective exposure to the atmospheric showers induced by the signal of neutrinos and cosmic rays are the challenges. At this conference, we describe how they are being addressed.
