Gadolinio in space:
In a japanese observatory known as Super-K a study has been carried out where thanks to pure water in which gadolinio was dissolved (only having a concentracion of about the 0,01%), neutrinos have been detected, which are an essential tool, that can provide us a huge amount of information about supernovas, which are violent explosions produced by stars. This knowledge is vital for a better understanding of the structure of our universe
