A type of electron lens developed at Fermilab lends itself to future collider applications.

As you walk down the stairs from the main floor of Wilson Hall to the auditorium vestibule, look up to the near edge of the wood block ceiling.

From York University, Oct. 17, 2017: This is the first such agreement Fermilab has signed for the experiment with a university outside the United States, and York is the only Canadian university currently involved in the international DUNE collaboration spanning 31 countries.

From The New York Times, Oct. 16, 2017: This is the first time LIGO has discovered anything that regular astronomers could see and study. One of the group of astronomers who spotted the speck of light was led by Marcelle Soares-Santos of Brandeis University and using the Dark Energy Camera.

For the first time, experiments have seen both light and gravitational waves released by a single celestial crash.

A team of scientists using the Dark Energy Camera was among the first to observe the fiery aftermath of a recently detected burst of gravitational waves, recording images of the first confirmed explosion from two colliding neutron stars ever seen by astronomers.

For the first time, the Large Hadron Collider is accelerating xenon nuclei for experiments.

Lund has been a professor at MSU since 2014 and currently serves on both the Director’s Advisory Council and the Curriculum Committee for the USPAS, working with Director Barletta to coordinate school programs in the community interest.

From Scientific American, Sept. 19, 2017: Fermilab Director Nigel Lockyer, Deputy Director Joe Lykken, DUNE co-spokesperson Mark Thomson, theorist Stephen Parke and Northwestern University’s André de Gouvêa help explain how DUNE, the largest experiment ever to probe mysterious neutrinos, could point the way to new physics.
