From Providence Journal, Sept. 25, 2019: Local newspaper promotes the event, which features scientists from Fermilab, the nation’s leading particle physics lab, as well as researchers working with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva. Fermilab Office of Education and Public Outreach Head Rebecca Thompson explains the science behind “Game of Thrones.”
In the year-long, highly collaborative program, laboratory staff will work with promising college-level students in minority demographic groups to build the skills they need to be good candidates for STEM internships.
Artist Shanthi Chandrasekar explains the mixture of art and physics in her new gallery exhibit at Fermilab.
A collaboration led by Fermilab and Stanford University combines their expertise in quantum science and accelerator technologies to build the world’s largest atom interferometer. The instrument will push the boundaries of quantum physics into macroscopic scales, providing a gateway for dark matter searches and tests of gravitational waves.
The American Physical Society Fellowship is a distinction awarded each year to no more than one-half of 1 percent of current APS members by their peers.
From Penn Today, Sept. 23, 2019: A team of researchers the University of Pennsylvania published results from the first set of experiments that can help answer these and other questions in fundamental physics. Their results are an important first step towards building the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermilab.
Researchers at CERN are investigating how very high-energy electrons could help target tumors. The possibility of using high-energy electrons for cancer treatment combined with new experimental dose-delivery techniques poises the medical field for a revolution in cancer treatment.
For the first time, a team at Fermilab has cooled and operated a superconducting radio-frequency cavity — a crucial component of superconducting particle accelerators — using cryogenic refrigerators, breaking the tradition of cooling cavities by immersing them in a bath of liquid helium. The demonstration is a major breakthrough in the effort to develop lean, compact accelerators for medicine, the environment and industry.
Solving equations in neutrino physics, a trio of theorists doing research at Fermilab discovered a mathematical identity that had eluded mathematicians for centuries. Working with Field Medal winner Terence Tao, they now have derived formal proofs of the new identity.
