On Wednesday, April 23, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Fermilab will offer high-school students a valuable opportunity to ask those questions in person.
The annual Wonders of Science show will again pack Ramsey Auditorium at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory on Sunday, April 6.
Scientists working on the world’s leading particle collider experiments have joined forces, combined their data and produced the first joint result from Fermilab’s Tevatron and CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), past and current holders of the record for most powerful particle collider on Earth.
Beginning on Saturday, April 12, Tufte will show many of his favorite pieces at Fermilab for a 10-week exhibit illuminating the elegant genius of Feynman and his diagrams.
Scientists on the CDF and DZero experiments at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have announced that they have found the final predicted way of creating a top quark, completing a picture of this particle nearly 20 years in the making.
Scientists on the world’s longest-distance neutrino experiment announced today that they have seen their first neutrinos.
The Family Open House is one of the most popular annual events hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. This year’s event will take place on Feb. 9 from 1 to 5 p.m. in Wilson Hall.
On Nov. 15 at 8 p.m., five of Fermilab’s best and brightest will duke it out in the Fermilab Arts and Lecture Series Physics Slam 2013. The event is similar to a poetry slam – each of the five physicists will get 1 0 minutes to explain a complex scientific concept to the audience in the most clear and entertaining way possible.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences today awarded the Nobel Prize in physics to theorists Peter Higgs and Francois Englert to recognize their work developing the theory of what is now known as the Higgs field, which gives elementary particles mass. U.S. scientists played a significant role in advancing the theory and in discovering the particle that proves the existence of the Higgs field, the Higgs boson.
Fermilab is looking for volunteers to help with its annual prairie seed harvest. Two harvest events are planned, on Saturday, Oct. 5 and Saturday, Nov. 2, beginning at 10 a.m. Fermilab’s site hosts 1,000 acres of restored native prairie land, and each year community members pitch in to help collect seeds from those native plants.
