The Innovation Platform investigates how the NOvA experiment at Fermilab is working to determine the role of mysterious neutrinos. To find out more about the NOvA experiment’s goals and recent progress, Innovation Platform recently spoke to NOvA co-spokespersons Patricia Vahle, Professor of Physics at William & Mary, and scientist Alex Himmel from Fermilab.

In a trillion or so years’ time, the Universe will have exhausted all of its star-forming material. The last star will be born and from thereon the Universe will face a slow death as gradually each and every star burns out. Fermilab’s Dan Hooper discusses how life will struggle to survive into the deep future but dark energy is intent on stealing the stars 100–150 billion years into the future.

Theoretical physicist James D. “BJ” Bjorken, theoretical physicist at SLAC and Stanford, passed away on Aug. 6. He was born in Chicago and in 1979, he left the SLAC and Stanford faculties to become associate director for physics at the Fermilab, saying he wanted to learn more about the accelerator side of things

Fermilab scientists have taken a major step in preparing for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment with a prototype particle accelerator. The 2×2 detector prototype has four liquid argon modules arranged in a square whereas the DUNE detectors will have 35 liquid argon time projection chambers, allowing scientists to track the movements of particles and determine their physical properties.
