Andre Salles is a science writer at Argonne National Laboratory and former senior writer in the Fermilab Office of Communication.
The 27th International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics, commonly called Neutrino 2016, will bring together scientists from experiments around the world. Scientists working with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will give numerous presentations at Neutrino 2016 and unveil some significant results.
Scientists are using a plastic robot and hair-thin pieces of metal to ready a magnet that will hunt for new physics.
Helen Edwards, one of the most vital contributors to the success of Fermilab over its five-decade history, died on June 21 at the age of 80.
Astronomers around the world are looking for visible sources of gravitational waves.
The Fermilab Art Gallery welcomes “Art of Darkness,” a new exhibit of images from the Dark Energy Survey, including dazzling pictures of the cosmos captured with the Dark Energy Camera.
Before the Dark Energy Survey began in August 2013, scientists spent months testing the Dark Energy Camera, putting it through its paces. Now, catalogs of galaxies and stars derived from the data collected during the Science Verification season have been released to the public.
The extremely sensitive quantum-spacetime-measuring tool will serve as a template for scientific exploration in the years to come.
On the same weekend that saw the fourth Hunger Games movie open nationwide, hundreds of people trekked to Fermilab to watch the fourth iteration of our own ruthless competition. Five scientists took the stage on Friday night, and only one left — with a prize, that is.
It survived a month-long journey over 3,200 miles, and now the delicate and complex electromagnet is well on its way to exploring the unknown. The Muon g-2 ring has successfully cooled down to operating temperature and powered up, proving that even after a decade of inactivity, it remains a vital and viable scientific instrument.
