From the Black Hills Pioneer, May 13, 2023: Last week representatives from Fermilab and officials from SURF hosted a community meeting for Lead, SD residents. The event was an opportunity to update attendees on the progress of the underground facility, answer questions and explain the next phase of the project once excavation is completed in 2024.
What happens when you pair CERN scientists with science fiction writers to create short stories inspired by particle physics?
From the Post Online Media Magazine, May 7, 2023: Dark Energy Survey scientists recently unveiled the most accurate measurement ever of the large-scale structure of the universe. Using the 570-mega pixel Dark Energy Cam developed and tested at Fermilab, the DES collaboration’s announcement will allow scientists to understand more about the ways the universe has evolved over 14 billion years.
Physicists advocate for getting community college students involved in research.
From CERN, April 26, 2023: Fermilab, as part of the US Accelerator Upgrade Project team, has helped to successful replace a coil in an HL-LHC niobium–tin quadrupole magnet showcasing this crucial technology’s flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
From Big Think, April 28, 2023: Cosmic microwave background provides insights into the Universe’s motion, but it doesn’t disprove relativity because it only represents the visible Universe, not the entire Universe. Don Lincoln discusses how Einstein’s theory of relativity still hold proving that there is no absolute motion. As we move through our day, we are stationary and the Universe moves around us.
From Naperville Community Television, April 26, 2023: It wouldn’t be spring at Fermilab without the arrival of the bison calves. Naperville News TV talks with herdsman Cleo Garcia on the lab’s infamous bison herd and the excitement the new baby bison bring each year.
From WBEZ Chicago, April 26, 2023: Fermilab’s Sam Zeller talks with WBEZ about what are neutrinos, why they are important and the relevance of studying them with the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
From National Geographic (Spain) April 21, 2023: A little over a year ago, the high-precision measurement of the W boson was announced with an accuracy of 0.01%, twice as great as the best previous measurement. In finding the mass of the W boson to be significantly higher than predicted by theory, it deviates markedly from the Standard Model predictions.
A theory of everything was all the rage in the 1980s. So where did it go?
