How (and Why) is it possible to detect a tiny little piece of the Universe? The talk “Interactions of particles with matter: the art of making visible the invisible” that  Dr. Adriano Di Giovanni gave at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Canadian University of Dubai (CUD) was about the most challenging endeavor of Science in the last 100 years. Physicists, not all of them of course,  are particle hunters: they push hard the knowledge and techniques to enlighten the most elusive and pretty much invisible traces of the Universe. Big accelerators, like the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), or underground, -water, -ice facilities are the common ways to solve the puzzle.  Not to mention that this is the most beautiful job.
