Students in the fashion studies department at College of DuPage designed personal protective equipment for SPOT, a dog-like robot that can send data back to researchers from areas that are unsafe for humans due to environmental hazards, such as radiation.
The ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed a process 4,000 times rarer than the production of Higgs bosons.
Claire Lee works for the US-CMS collaboration at CERN. When she’s not taking shifts in the CMS control room, ensuring the detectors are functioning properly and safely, she takes guests on tours and teaches them about the amazing particle physics investigated by the variety of experiments there.
Bishai and Bertolucci lead the 1,400-member collaboration of scientists and engineers of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermilab.
To build the DUNE neutrino experiment and its associated accelerator upgrade, experts invent customized ways to transport fragile, expensive and highly specialized components.
The quest to understand the small mass of neutrinos is also a quest to discover new particles.
The 10-meter-long cryomodule, part of the PIP-II particle accelerator project at Fermilab, is now undergoing testing to validate all its components and finalize its design. In a few years, Fermilab and international partners will produce four similar cryomodules that will propel particles in the new linear accelerator.
With his background building Bluetooth antennas, now Brian Vaughn applies his expertise to a multitude of different Fermilab projects. His favorite: building a superconducting cavity for the Main Injector.
Scientists in the particle physics community are bringing environmental and climate issues to the table in discussions about future research.
Anton Zeilinger, who received the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, pioneered research on quantum teleportation and entanglement swapping. These technologies are instrumental in the success of the Illinois-Express Quantum Network, which recently published a paper outlining its design concepts and implementation. The technologies are also the basis for the quantum devices that generate the network.
