Some older lab instruments may have outlived their usefulness in Fermilab experiments, but that doesn’t mean they can’t live on in other science projects.
Did you know that imaging scanners at the hospital next door could be running the same operating system as Fermilab’s particle accelerators and experiments?
As we enter the second month of Fermilab’s 50th year, we look back on Robert Wilson assuming the lab’s first directorship and revisit the lab’s first experiment, along with other memorable milestones.
Nearly 200 local luminaries came to Fermilab to hear from laboratory leadership and, at 2017’s first Arts and Lecture Series talk, from scientist Chris Quigg about Fermilab’s greatest hits.
Since its inception in 1980 by then-Fermilab Director Leon Lederman, Saturday Morning Physics has been one of the most popular outreach initiatives at Fermilab.
Years of work upgrading the accelerator have made it possible to achieve the high beam power needed to produce neutrinos — the most elusive of nature’s known particles — by the truckload.
Fermilab’s 50th anniversary year has arrived, and though we’re happy to toot our own horn, on Saturday night Chicago’s Mucca Pazza tooted theirs for us.
