IEEE recognizes the industrial innovations made possible by the design and construction of superconducting magnets for the Tevatron collider.
The Fundamental Physics Prize recognizes WMAP’s contributions to precision cosmology.
From Engadget, Nov. 29, 2017: Fermilab’s Dark Energy Survey is featured in this story and video about the search for dark matter.
From Rapid City Journal, Nov. 29, 2017: For more than five years, Ross Shaft crews have been stripping out old steel and lacing, cleaning out decades of debris, adding new ground support and installing new steel to prepare the shaft for its future role in world-leading science. On Oct. 12, all that hard work paid off when the team, which worked its way down from the surface, reached a major milestone: the 4850 Level. Deputy Director Chris Mossey weighs in.
In past Decembers the laboratory recognized the importance of its future site, the prairie and its buildings.
Sept. 30, 1979, about 1:45 p.m.: SNAP!! Gerd Hartner, in the bow of his canoe at the race starting position, dipped his paddle in the water, gave a mighty first pull and, to his astonishment, broke it in half.
In the Large Hadron Collider, protons become new particles, which become energy and light, which become data.
Sandra Miarecki went from Air Force pilot to neutrino physicist.
For the first time, scientists have measured the rate at which high-energy neutrinos are absorbed by our planet, a development that could lead to discoveries about physics and Earth.
