Latest Borexino CNO pre-print results(1) featured on Science News: “Neutrinos hint the sun has more carbon and nitrogen than previously thought Figuring out our star’s makeup is crucial for understanding the entire universe” By Ken Croswell JUNE 16, 2022 AT

New technique makes directional measurements of low-energy solar neutrinos

Physicsworld magazine dedicated an article to our recently published papers about directional measurement of Sub-MeV solar neutrinos with Borexino: Until now, physicists measuring the properties of solar neutrinos have had to make a compromise – either measure the particles’ energy with

How the Sun and the Stars shine

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)
