Sculpting physics into a visual masterpiece: Ricardo Mondragon named Fermilab 2023 artist-in-residence
Fermilab selects its 2023 artist for its year-long artist-in-residence program.
Fermilab is America’s particle physics and accelerator laboratory. Our vision is to solve the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time for the benefit of all.
Quantum researchers strike the right chord with silicides
SQMS Center researchers have identified a new contribution to a qubit’s performance by probing and simulating several-atom-thick layers called silicides.
Excavation of massive underground caverns for DUNE halfway complete
A mile underground in South Dakota, construction crews have worked diligently to carve out an extensive network of caverns and tunnels that one day will house a huge neutrino experiment. Their efforts have paid off: With almost 400,000 tons of rock extracted from the earth, the excavation has reached the halfway point.
Translating particle physics into musical notes: Roger Zare named Fermilab’s 2023 guest composer
Fermilab selected its next guest composer for the year-long residency program.
Feeling the universe in the ‘Particle Shrine’
A physicist, a composer and a creative technician team up to translate the unseen particles around us into a format that human bodies can understand.
Construction contract awarded for particle accelerator complex at Fermilab
Construction may now begin on the PIP-II Linac Complex. The tunnel and building will house the new linear particle accelerator that will power the physics programs and neutrino research at Fermilab for the coming decades.
Fermilab in the news
From CERN, Jan. 20, 2023: CERN is celebrating the completion of civil-engineering work for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider. This will improve its performance by increasing the number of particle collisions and boosting the potential for discoveries. The HL-LHC is expected to start operating in 2029.
From Yahoo News, Jan. 20, 2023: A small group of Fashion Studies students and COD Fashion Studies Professor Eva Stevens, are working in collaboration with Fermilab engineers to design Personal Protective Equipment for Spot who works in radioactive and contaminated areas.
From Laser Focus World, Jan. 12, 2023: What does the future of detectors look like and what problems will they solve? Advances in novel detectors are working on some of the most elusive mysteries in science—from quantum teleportation to neutrinos and dark matter. The long-baseline neutrino detectors of DUNE are part of this line up of international detectors.
