Understanding the mystery of neutrino particles

    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.

    The great star heist and the race to outrun dark energy

      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.

      Mining for Neutrinos, and for Cosmic Answers

        The New York Times reports on LBNF/DUNE. When DUNE operations begin, the research results could a major gap in scientists’ understanding of the universe and return the United States to its former position at the center of particle physics.
