From CERN, November 2017: It has been a little over seven (and a half) years since the LHC started delivering collisions to CMS for physics analysis, and just a few days ago we published our 700th research paper.

From Engadget, Nov. 29, 2017: Fermilab’s Dark Energy Survey is featured in this story and video about the search for dark matter.

From Rapid City Journal, Nov. 29, 2017: For more than five years, Ross Shaft crews have been stripping out old steel and lacing, cleaning out decades of debris, adding new ground support and installing new steel to prepare the shaft for its future role in world-leading science. On Oct. 12, all that hard work paid off when the team, which worked its way down from the surface, reached a major milestone: the 4850 Level. Deputy Director Chris Mossey weighs in.

In the Large Hadron Collider, protons become new particles, which become energy and light, which become data.

Sandra Miarecki went from Air Force pilot to neutrino physicist.

For the first time, scientists have measured the rate at which high-energy neutrinos are absorbed by our planet, a development that could lead to discoveries about physics and Earth.

From CERN Openlab, Nov. 22, 2017: Physics data reduction helps ensure researchers gain valuable insights from the vast amounts of particle collision data produced by CMS. Fermilab scientist Oliver Gutsche and colleagues will look at investigate techniques based on Apache Spark, a popular open-source software platform.

Successful physics collaborations rely on cooperation between people from many different disciplines.

Barish explains how LIGO became the high-achieving experiment it is today.

Fantastical designs elevate physics in works by Fermilab’s first artist.
