In this talk I will give some selected comments to the present and future physics at ISOLDE, REX ISOLDE and HIE-ISOLDE. I will also give examples of some of the pioneering experiments at ISOLDE that have lead to the success of this field of nuclear physics. As a basis for my talk I give below some dates and developments that have been important on the way towards the present Facility. ...

The International Gamma Ray Astrophysics Laboratory has been launched in 2002 to observed the Universe at energies between a few keV to a few MeV. Among the objectives was the study of gamma-ray lines, probing, among others, specific nucleosynthesis processes that occur in stars. I present a review of the observations performed by INTEGRAL in this respect, and discuss them in relation with the...

In the last couple of years we have witnessed a tremendous progress
in the field of cold fermionic atoms. Ultra cold atomic gases provide
a remarkable opportunity to investigate strongly correlated Fermisystems.
They are dilute and their interactions can be precisely controlled
over an enormous range. In particular, they form unique laboratories
where the crossover between the...

In the last decade many spectacular advances have been performed in neutrino physics. Still, crucial questions remain open, in particular the knowledge of the Dirac versus Majorana
nature of neutrinos. The most feasible way of knowing the answer to this issue is through the observation of a nuclear process called neutrinoless double-beta decay.
Its search presents serious experimental and...
