Physicists and scientific computing experts prepare for an onslaught of petabytes.

From Google Cloud Platform Blog, Nov. 14, 2016: Google Cloud Platform is now a supported provider for HEPCloud, a project launched in June 2015 by Fermilab’s Scientific Computing Division to develop a virtual facility providing a common interface to local clusters, grids, high-performance computers and community and commercial clouds.

Theorists think dark matter was forged in the hot aftermath of the Big Bang.

From Inside Science, Nov. 2, 2016: In this 3-minute video, DUNE co-spokesperson Mark Thomson talks about Fermilab’s search for neutrinos and how scientists capture the rare interactions of the elusive particles. Fermilab’s DUNE animation is featured.

A theoretical particle that adapts to its surroundings could explain the accelerating expansion of our universe.

What are parallel universes, and why do we think they might exist?

Can a biochemistry technique win the battle against background for scientists studying the nature of neutrinos?

From Deep Thoughts, Oct. 24, 2016: The science at Sanford Lab directly contributes to South Dakota’s economy, and according to the facility, it’s only going to grow with the installation of LBNF.

Physicists are searching for gravitational waves all across the spectrum.

From Northwest Quarterly, Oct. 10, 2016: Our universe is a mystery. We don’t know what most of it is made of; we don’t know how it all works. But by using the largest, most complex machines in the world, scientists at Fermilab are figuring it out.
