OSG helps LIGO confirm Einstein’s theory
From Science Node, Feb. 17, 2016: Einstein predicted gravitational waves over 100 years ago. Resources provided by the Open Science Grid, of which Fermilab is an active member, are helping LIGO prove he was right.
Gravitational waves detected, confirming Einstein’s theory
From The New York Times, Feb. 11, 2016: A team of scientists announced on Thursday that they had heard and recorded the sound of two black holes colliding a billion light-years away, a fleeting chirp that fulfilled the last prediction of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
LIGO sees gravitational waves
The experiment confirms the last piece of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
Neutrinos on a seesaw
A possible explanation for the lightness of neutrinos could help answer some big questions about the universe.
South Pole’s next generation of discovery
From University of Chicago, Jan. 26, 2016: Argonne, Fermilab and the University of Chicago are among the dozen institutions that are working on upgrading the South Pole Telescope. Scientists are getting ready to install a new camera on the telescope later this year to plumb the earliest history of the cosmos.
Weighing the lightest particle
Physicists are using one of the oldest laws of nature to find the mass of the elusive neutrino.
Fermilab has Family Open House down to a science
From The Beacon-News, Feb. 1, 2016: A crowd of at least 2,500 people got the chance to view the facilities as well as exhibits at Fermilab’s Family Open House, which included physics projects offered by students living in neighboring communities including St. Charles, Naperville and Aurora.
