PhD TV: Dark Matters
Through hand drawn illustrations, this video creatively explains the basics on what we know about dark matter. Contents of this video are based on what the author learned during a conversation with physicists Daniel Whiteson and Jonathan Feng about Dark Matter and how CERN’s collider is helping answer the question “What is dark matter?”. Subjects…

Comics about Gravitational Waves
Nel 2016 viene annunciata la scoperta delle onde gravitazionali. Un anno dopo, i fisici registrano il primo segnale “multimessaggero” della storia della scienza, aprendo la strada ad una nuova branca della fisica: l’astronomia multimessaggera. È proprio la prima onda gravitazionale rivelata, chiamata nel fumetto Nera15, a raccontarci la storia di questa scoperta, che si intreccia…
