Learn what happens to lab equipment that is no longer used and how Fermilab donates instruments to universities to extend equipment usage.

Congratulations to Anna Grassellino who is among the winners of the women’s Oscar, the Marisa Bellisario Award, dedicated to “Women who make the difference”. She will be awarded the international prize for her the role for leading the SQMS Center at Fermilab.

A group of engineers in the Engineering Services group at Argonne designed shielding doors for radiation protection and a crucial component of the DUNE detector for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Naperville News 17 reports on the new baby bison that arrived this spring at Fermilab. Just outside of Naperville, Fermilab has a growing herd of over 40 bison and two bulls that roam the campus’ prairie land.

Over the course of three years, scientists working on MINERvA recorded more than a million interactions of antineutrinos with other particles. This data allowed scientists to finally calculate the proton’s size using neutrinos, making this a statistically significant measurement of this characteristic.

Fermilab’s Dan Hooper and Don Lincoln talk with Popular Mechanics about why scientists are eager to find the truth about the mysteries of dark matter. Worldwide there is cutting-edge research underway nearly a mile and a half beneath Earth’s surface at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory, the deepest detector in the world.

Physics may seem like its own world, but different sectors using machine learning are all part of the same universe.

The Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center in Lead, SD has a new centerpiece. A towering three-dimensional model that includes the Open Cut and 370 miles of drifts, ramps, and shafts that make up the Sanford Underground Research Facility was made to convey the giant caverns at SURF for the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Tau neutrinos were observed for the first time in 2000 at Fermilab. Today, IceCube scientists have detected high-energy tau neutrinos from deep space, suggesting that neutrino transformations occur not only in lab experiments but also over cosmic distances.

Scientists inside and outside of particle physics and astrophysics are leaning on AI for assistance with complex tasks.
