The influence and impact of physicists from Japan on Fermilab research started in the 1970s and is still strong today.
Fermilab features
A furry critter and its four-mile trek through an accelerator pipe comes to the lab’s rescue in its early days.
Fermilab’s summer interns exchange lazy days for lab experience.
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 Arts and Lecture Series is proud to kick off its 2016-2017 season in the coming weeks. Early highlights include Corky Siegel’s Chamber Blues and a lecture on the physics of sports.
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.
Martin Bentivengo manages maintenance at the laboratory, is involved in diversity and outreach initiatives, and talks to high school kids about pursuing STEM fields.
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.
