I will discuss the prospects for identifying solar neutrinos in future direct dark matter detection experiments. I will discuss them as a background for dark matter searches, and also the implications for constraining the properties of neutrinos and their sources. I will also discuss the complementarity of these future measurements with terrestrial coherent neutrino scattering experiments.

An update is presented on progress towards realising a direction sensitive WIMP dark matter detector called CYGNUS with eventual sensitivity to probe below the neutrino floor. Latest R&D and simulations are presented towards underpinning sensitivity in this region, including new work on use of SF6+He4 gas mixtures to allow sensitivity in the low WIMP mass regime with both direction...

Direct determination of the electron neutrino $m(\nu_{\mathrm{e}})$ and anti-neutrino mass $m(\bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{e}})$ can be obtained by the analysis of electron capture and beta spectra respectively. In the last years experiments analyzing the $^3$H beta spectrum reached a limit on $m(\bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{e}})$ of 2 eV. The upper limit on $m(\nu_{\mathrm{e}})$ is still two orders of magnitudes...
