Fermilab features

A story of the fate of some walnut trees on the laboratory site in 1979 takes us inside the Wilson Hall stairways.

The puzzle: understanding how nearly undetectable particles, called neutrinos, interact with normal matter. The solution? The clever MINERvA experiment, which shares its name with the Roman goddess of wisdom.

The Fermilab bison herd is now in pictures! Watch a 2-minute video, look at a map of the herd’s heritage, and read a playful letter of introduction from the lab’s first herd.

Tooting our horn: Fermilab has the most expertise in constructing neutrino horns, which focus the particles that eventually decay into neutrinos. Learn how they work.

Fermilab’s TRAC program helps middle and high school teachers turn lab experiences into lessons or exercises for their students.

What’s it like to be part of an experiment collaboration in the weeks and days before a big announcement?

After more than a decade of running, on June 29, the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search experiment and its second iteration, MINOS+, concluded their runs.

More than 1,350 physicists from around the world will converge in Chicago for the biennial ICHEP conference in August to share new research results, announce new projects, and talk about the most intriguing mysteries of the universe.

The 27th International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics, commonly called Neutrino 2016, will bring together scientists from experiments around the world. Scientists working with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will give numerous presentations at Neutrino 2016 and unveil some significant results.

Helen Edwards, one of the most vital contributors to the success of Fermilab over its five-decade history, died on June 21 at the age of 80.
