New experimental method using isolated atoms and molecules
implanted in sold matrix is explained, whose goal is to measure all 3 neutrino masses and the
unknown mixing angle along with determination of Majorana or Dirac particle. If the method works, it
is expected to detect the cosmic relic neutrino, too.

We show that the cosmic neutrino background is a superfluid today, and the quantum numbers of the order parameter give a goldstone graviton, with a coupling numerically similar to the actual Newton's constant.

We present a study on the interaction of low energy electron
neutrinos on nuclei that undergo both beta decay and electron
capture. We show that, due to the absence of an energy threshold and
to the relatively high value of the cross section, these processes
are the only ones to date having a realistic chance to unambiguously
detect the yet undiscovered cosmological...

In this talk I will review the experimental challenges towards the
detection of relic neutrinos. The talk is based on a paper where the
idea of detecting relic neutrinos with instable nucli is renewed.
Different target nucli and experimental approaches are considered
and, the advantage and the difficulties of different experimental
techniques are discussed.
