When heavy ions, accelerated to the speed of light, collide with each other in the depths of European or American accelerators, quark-gluon plasma is formed for fractions of a second, or even its cocktail seasoned with other particles. According to scientists from the IFJ PAN, experimental data show that there are underestimated actors on the scene: photons. Their collisions lead to the emission of seemingly excess particles, the presence of which could not be explained.

This professional sector is dominated by just over 80% of men, where it has been very difficult to change that trend. In this sense, of incompatibility of the career with motherhood, and despite policies to promote the female presence in scientific careers, the percentages of scientists in these sectors barely move. Therefore, having Fabiola Gianotti directing with her leadership and communication skills, even with simplicity and humility, is considered to be and will be a positive example for young women who may consider following a scientific career, as expressed by Cristina Manuel Hidalgo, scientific researcher of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and author of the web portal Research and Science.
