Title: Research at COLD

Description: A young researcher at work at the CryOgenic Laboratory for Detectors (COLD) at INFN National Laboratories of Frascati. The laboratory’s cryostat (in the foreground) can reach -273.14 °C, just a few thousandths of a degree above absolute zero, allowing scientists to detect extremely weak and rare signals, such as those possibly produced  by dark matter in our galaxy.
