Thanks to its extraordinary radiopurity, Borexino observed the two main fusion reactions in stars and will soon weigh in on a controversy relating to the birth of the Sun that challenges the SSM (G.Bellini & A.Ianni on CERN Courier)

Recent Borexino results, pp and CNO cycles explained for general public in this nice video by Anton Petrov:
Simultaneous precision spectroscopy of pp, 7Be and pep solar neutrinos with Borexino Phase-II
Simultaneous precision spectroscopy of pp, 7Be and pep solar neutrinos with Borexino Phase-II Phys. Rev. D 100, Issue 8 , 082004 – 15 October 2019 [doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.100.082004] Abstract We present the simultaneous measurement of the interaction rates pp, RBe, Rpep of pp, 7Be, and pep solar neutrinos performed with a global fit to the
