ItalyTwo geologists working on the candidacy of Sos Enattos as a site for the Einstein Telescope in Sardinia had their cars set on fire in Lula, Nuorese. The attack, which occurred in the absence of video surveillance, has complicated investigations, and no claims of responsibility have been made. The prosecutor’s office in Nuoro has opened a file suspecting terrorism or anarchist motives, though authorities are still searching for those responsible. The victims were researchers from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), Carlo Giunchi and his wife, who had arrived in Sardinia along with other scientists to conduct preliminary work for the project. The Einstein Telescope is a major European research initiative supported by the EU, Italy’s National Nuclear Physics Institute, the government, and the Sardinian region, with investments totaling around €1.3 billion. It aims to study gravitational waves using advanced laser technology. The Italian bid focuses on the abandoned Sos Enattos mine, considered ideal due to its low seismic noise, limited groundwater presence, stable rock formations, and minimal human activity. The project could create up to 36,000 jobs during建设
