Scientists are using a detector originally designed to study neutrinos to pin down an elusive nuclear physics measurement.
The animated YouTube series Quantum Kate is a teenager’s guide to modern physics.
The centers are a collective force for quantum information science in the United States, driving scientific innovation, building a quantum ecosystem and fostering the future quantum workforce.
An international collaboration is upgrading the CMS detector at CERN to handle the increased number of collisions that the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider will produce.
It takes years of on-the-job training to learn the ins and outs of particle accelerator operation.
As part of a class on design thinking, a graduate student turned her research topic into an art installation resembling a giant disco ball.
Excavation of the large caverns for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility is in full swing. Over a third of the whopping 800,000 tons that need to be extracted from a mile underground have been removed. When finished, the underground facility will cover an area about the size of eight soccer fields and provide space for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
From Nature, Aug. 10, 2022: Scientists have successfully used a new technique at Fermilab’s Integrable Optics Test Accelerator
to cool a particle beam and make it denser. The new method may enable future experiments to create more particle collisions.
From Nature, Aug. 8, 2022: The accelerator would smash together this heavier version of the electron and, researchers hope, discover new particles.
