From the Illinois Science Council, Aug. 9, 2021: Fermilab’s first artist-in-residence, Lindsay Olson, describes her first days working at Fermilab where her work took her into the tunnels and research areas of the lab to make art out of science.

From WORT 89.9 FM-Madison WI, Aug. 26, 2021: General Counsel for Fermilab, John Myer, talks with 89.9 FM hosts, Ankur Malhotra and Austin Exum, about the major projects and practical applications of the research performed at Fermilab.

Rutgers joins 19 other contributing partners, representing national labs, academia and industry, to conduct SQMS research activities.

Scientists from Fermilab and other institutions hoping to find new, long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider recently realized, with CMS, they may already have the detector to do it.

The physicist succeeds Marta Cehelsky, who has been at the helm of the Universities Research Association since 2011.

From the DOE Office of Science, Aug. 25: The DOE Office of Science announced 10 DOE national laboratory projects, including one led by Fermilab, have been selected to receive funding as part of research related to microelectronics co-design. Senior engineer Davide Braga’s work on hybrid cryogenic detector architectures for sensing and edge computing enabled by new fabrication processes was chosen as one of the 10 awards.

The Cryogenic Society of America has awarded Benjamin Hansen its Award for Excellence in Cryogenic Operations and Support. Head of Fermilab’s Cryogenics Operations Department, he received the award for his leadership maintaining and operating six helium cryogenic test facilities.

The ATLAS experiment at CERN sees possible evidence of quark-gluon plasma production during collisions between photons and heavy nuclei inside the Large Hadron Collider.

From Physics World, Aug. 24, 2021: A team of physicists in Germany and the US are testing how neutrinos interact with nuclei focusing on how the electron interacts with nuclei using the underlying principles of chiral effective field theories. Read more about how the team aims to carry out first-principles calculations of argon nuclei which will be used as a detector target in the upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).

From Phys.org, August 24, 2021: Using the powerful 570-megapixel Dark Energy Camera (DECam) created and tested by Fermilab for the DES, astronomers have discovered an asteroid with the shortest orbital period of any known asteroid in the Solar System.
