Scientists involved in the Borexino Collaboration have for the first time proven the existence of the CNO fusion cycle in nature. They detected solar neutrinos originating in this process, subordinate in our sun. Prof. Livia Ludhova, member of JARA-FAME, is one of the scientific coordinators of the Borexino collaboration.

Together with the TU Darmstadt, RWTH Aachen is included in a alliance that creates better conditions for all scientists at German universities. Under the new funding concept, the federal and state governments will no longer only cover investment costs, but also operating and personnel costs. For this purpose, 62.5 million euros will be available annually for the entire NHR alliance.
After submitting a proposal together with the TU Darmstadt, the RWTH will be accepted into the consortium, which creates optimized computing conditions for all scientists at German universities. The long standing cooperation between RWTH and Forschungszentrum Jülich in the JARA Center for Simulation and Data Science continues to play an important role.
