The U.S. Department of Energy recently announced $13.7 million in funding for nine research projects that will advance the state of the art in computer science and applied mathematics. One of the recipients of this funding, Fermilab scientist Nhan Tran will lead a project to explore methods for programming custom hardware accelerators for streaming compression.
Fermilab physicist and Muon g-2 co-spokesperson Chris Polly has won a Falling Walls Award in physical sciences, which honors researchers doing groundbreaking work in the observation and understanding of natural phenomena of the earth, atmosphere and space. Polly is being recognized for his contribution to the Muon g-2 collaboration. Its results earlier this year strengthened evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. He is also a finalist for Science Breakthrough of the Year 2021 in physical sciences.
Even experiments that aren’t looking for dark matter directly, such as Muon g-2, could give us hints about the mysterious substance that permeates our universe.
Fermilab has received the Building Envelope Campaign Award for the Industrial Center Building Addition’s energy-efficient design of windows, exterior walls and roofs. Fermilab is one of 14 awardees selected by the DOE.
Rutgers joins 19 other contributing partners, representing national labs, academia and industry, to conduct SQMS research activities.
Scientists from Fermilab and other institutions hoping to find new, long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider recently realized, with CMS, they may already have the detector to do it.
The physicist succeeds Marta Cehelsky, who has been at the helm of the Universities Research Association since 2011.
The Cryogenic Society of America has awarded Benjamin Hansen its Award for Excellence in Cryogenic Operations and Support. Head of Fermilab’s Cryogenics Operations Department, he received the award for his leadership maintaining and operating six helium cryogenic test facilities.
CERN deepens its collaboration with the US-based neutrino experiment with the provision of two enormous stainless-steel vessels for DUNE’s cutting-edge liquid-argon detectors.
The country’s first National Climate Advisor in charge of climate change and environmental policies, Gina McCarthy, visited Fermilab with Reps. Sean Casten and Lauren Underwood. Their tour was to highlight the importance of climate change and clean energy in the Midwest, with a focus on job creation, public health and economic opportunity.
