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.
From VNY, Aug. 28, 2020: La scienziata orginaria di Marsala e laureata a Pisa, guida il Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center del Fermilab di Chicago.
From Hyde Park Herald, Aug. 27, 2020: Illinois will host two of five new National Quantum Information Science Research Centers led by Argonne and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Fermilab will host the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center.
From Open Access Government, Sept. 10, 2020: DOE Associate Director of Science for High Energy Physics Jim Siegrist charts how future machines will explore new frontiers in particle physics. The DOE Office of Science is working with partners around the globe to realize the next generation of particle physics facilities and experiments, including the international, Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and its Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, PIP-II, and LHC experiments, including CMS.
From Corriere Della Sera, Aug. 27, 2020: Anna Grassellino, 39 anni, dirigerà il nuovo centro al Fermilab di Chicago per affrontare la National Quantum Initiative, il progetto per la creazione di un elaboratore avanzatissimo basato sui fotoni.
From CERN Courier, Sept. 9, 2020: The first ICHEP meeting since the publication of the update of the European strategy for particle physics covered Higgs and neutrino physics, including results from the CMS collider experiment and the DUNE, NOvA and MicroBooNE neutrino experiments.
Sensors for the world’s largest digital camera have snapped their first 3,200-megapixel images at SLAC. Crews at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory took the photo with an extraordinary array of imaging sensors that will become the heart and soul of the future camera of Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
From FedScoop, Aug. 26, 2020: The White House plans to establish seven Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes and five Quantum Information Science Research Centers with more than $1 billion in awards during the next five years. Fermilab is among the national laboratories that will serve as Quantum Information Science Research Center leads, combining its particle physics expertise with partners’ strengths in materials, computing and superconductivity science and technology to advance quantum technologies.
