From Cosmos Magazine, May 19, 2016: The most elusive particles in the universe – neutrinos – might not stay hidden for much longer. Testing for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, or DUNE, began earlier this year.
From Voice of America, May 11, 2016: As the Large Hadron Collider returns to full operation, scientists at Fermilab, America’s premier particle physics lab, are excited about a tantalizing discovery made at CERN.
After months of winter hibernation, the Large Hadron Collider is once again smashing protons and taking data. The LHC will run around the clock for the next six months and produce six times more collisions than in 2015.
From Cold Facts, April 20, 2016: Fermilab’s work on LCLS-II is highlighted in a round-up of cryogenic facilities at national laboratories.
Fermilab welcomed the first baby bison of 2016 on Tuesday, April 26, increasing the herd size to 18. As many as 14 more calves are expected before early June.
From Chicago Tribune/Beacon-News, April 21, 2016: Fermilab’s annual STEM Career Expo brought together Fermilab scientists and engineers as well as local companies and research organizations in order for teens to learn about careers in math and science.
From PBS Digital Studios’ The Good Stuff: Dark matter makes up 70 percent of the known universe, and we know very little about it. This video on dark matter includes an interview with theorist Patrick Fox and a tour of the MINOS underground area at Fermilab.
From Silicon Republic, April 8, 2016: Researchers in the United States, including Fermilab researchers, and CERN have teamed up to produce 20 new accelerator magnets, which, when put together into the next LHC in 2026, will up its power by a factor of ten.
On Wednesday, April 20, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Fermilab will offer high school students a valuable opportunity to interact one on one with professionals in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.
