From Chicago Gallery News, Sept. 15, 2020: The exhibit “Unexpected: Lisa Goesling & Deanna Krueger” starts at the Fermilab Art Gallery on Sept. 16. While Goesling and Krueger use different materials, they both approach their art with a sense of wonder. What evolves is an energy that is not only seen but also felt.

From Página 12, Sept. 12, 2020: Recibió el reconocimiento “Nuevos Horizontes en Física 2021” en el marco de los premios Breakthrough. Se recibió en la UBA y desde hace años investiga en el Fermilab de Chicago, el laboratorio de física de partículas más importante de Estados Unidos.

From Building, Design and Construction, Sept. 14, 2020: This fall, construction is scheduled to begin on the Integrated Engineering Research Center, an 85,000-square-foot infrastructure project at Fermilab. Lots of natural light and hybrid labs will distinguish the new center.

From University of Arizona, Sept. 2, 2020: Three University of Arizona researchers are involved in the Fermilab-hosted Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center, which is part of a $625 million federal program to foster quantum innovation in the United States.

Particle physics is driven by surprise. Researchers in the 1960s studying tiny but ubiquitous particles called neutrinos found only a fraction of what they expected to be in their detector. That unexpected result eventually led to the discovery that neutrinos are shape-shifters, oscillating between three types as they travel. In this stop-motion video, Symmetry writer Zack Savitsky imagines a painter discovering a similar surprise among his art supplies.

From INFN, Aug. 26, 2020: Il Department of Energy degli Stati Uniti finanzia il Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center, coordinato dal Fermilab di Chicago e guidato dall’italiana Anna Grassellino. L’INFN parteciperà al progetto con il suo know-how scientifico e tecnologico, e grazie al finanziamento realizzerà una facility per dispositivi quantistici
nei suoi Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso.

From Formiche, Aug. 28, 2020: Gli Stati Uniti vogliono guidare il progresso mondiale sulla scienza dell’informazione quantistica. Per farlo, hanno affidato al FermiLab di Chicago la creazione di un centro di ricerca a cui parteciperanno venti istituzioni. Sono tutte americane, tranne l’Infn, l’istituto italiano di fisica nucleare.
