Powerful survey instruments help us map the sky with incredible precision. But what ensures that the instruments themselves are precisely built?

Physicists and scientific computing experts prepare for an onslaught of petabytes.

From Google Cloud Platform Blog, Nov. 14, 2016: Google Cloud Platform is now a supported provider for HEPCloud, a project launched in June 2015 by Fermilab’s Scientific Computing Division to develop a virtual facility providing a common interface to local clusters, grids, high-performance computers and community and commercial clouds.

Theorists think dark matter was forged in the hot aftermath of the Big Bang.

The U.S. Department of Energy supports a suite of cutting-edge science experiments at Sanford Lab. Fermilab has assumed a new role at the South Dakota facility.

From Inside Science, Nov. 2, 2016: In this 3-minute video, DUNE co-spokesperson Mark Thomson talks about Fermilab’s search for neutrinos and how scientists capture the rare interactions of the elusive particles. Fermilab’s DUNE animation is featured.

A theoretical particle that adapts to its surroundings could explain the accelerating expansion of our universe.

The setting provided by founding Director Bob Wilson’s creative design of the laboratory and his many sculptures are an enduring source of pride for those associated with Fermilab and for the surrounding community. One of the sculptures that has gained widespread attention is “Tractricious.”

Beginning in August, Fermilab’s Batavia Road gate came under the watchful eyes of several sandhill cranes. As employees and visitors alike passed through the gate, it would be difficult to miss these stately sentinels.

What are parallel universes, and why do we think they might exist?
