From How Stuff Works, Aug. 25, 2017: DUNE will entail shooting a powerful beam of neutrinos through Earth’s mantle and perhaps unlocking some of our universe’s greatest mysteries in the process.
From Forbes, Aug. 29, 2017: Latest results from the five year long Dark Energy Survey puts the Standard Model of our universe under the most precise test yet.
Dark Energy Survey scientists have unveiled the most accurate measurement ever made of the present large-scale structure of the universe, and their findings support the dark matter/dark energy model.
Fifty years of scientific discovery is a good reason for a celebration. And that’s just what the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has in store on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
A groundbreaking ceremony held at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, marks the start of construction of a massive international experiment that could change our understanding of the universe.
The world’s largest liquid-argon neutrino detector, ICARUS, is about to make its way from CERN to Fermilab to begin its new mission: hunting for a previously undetected fourth type of neutrino.
The 50-foot-wide superconducting electromagnet at the center of the experiment saw its first beam of muon particles from Fermilab’s accelerators, kicking off a three-year effort to measure just what happens to those particles when placed in a stunningly precise magnetic field. The answer could rewrite scientists’ picture of the universe and how it works.
From the Kane County Chronicle, May 17, 2017: Geneva resident Jim Jenkins has been chosen as Fermilab’s third artist-in-residence, and has big plans for his tenure.
A new exhibit called “A Lasting Mark” will celebrate the contributions of Fermilab’s first and only artist, Angela Gonzales, with an impressive collection of her work.
