Meet the detectors of Fermilab’s Short-Baseline Neutrino Program, hunting for signs of a possible fourth type of neutrino.
From Science, Jan. 25, 2018: Muon g-2 hopes to firm up tantalizing hints from an earlier incarnation of the experiment, which suggested that the particle is ever so slightly more magnetic than predicted by the prevailing standard Model of particle physics.
The Muon g-2 team has begun the important step of measuring the experiment’s magnetic field to unprecedented precision.
He receives the honor for fundamental contributions to the development of new techniques for the direct detection of dark matter.
From WDCB’s First Light, Jan. 21, 2018: Fermilab’s 2017 artist-in-residence Jim Jenkins discusses a number of his pieces, now on display in the Fermilab Art Gallery, including his snowflake detector. Director Nigel Lockyer and Curator Georgia Schwender talk about the importance of art to understanding science.
From IFLScience, Jan. 17, 2018: The Dark Energy Survey has identified 11 new stellar streams, and their positioning and trajectories suggest that they were once galaxies a little smaller than our own that, over astronomical timescale, were torn asunder.
The SciToons program pairs students with different levels of scientific expertise to create animated science explainers.
From National Geographic, Jan. 12, 2018: The Dark Energy Survey announced that it detected 11 streamers of stars, some of which have been given Aboriginal names.
From Daily Mail, Jan. 14, 2018: Preliminary results from the Dark Energy survey have revealed a stunning look at the remains of 11 smaller galaxies that have been devoured by our own, reducing them to stellar streams.
