What are all of the symbols in Fermilab’s unofficial seal?

The Planck scale sets the universe’s minimum limit, beyond which the laws of physics break.

From Cosmos Magazine, May 19, 2016: The most elusive particles in the universe – neutrinos – might not stay hidden for much longer. Testing for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, or DUNE, began earlier this year.

The Brazilian user community at Fermilab consists of nearly 80 researchers from 15 institutions working across 13 different projects and experiments.

A reader asks, “If atoms are mostly empty space, then why does anything feel solid?” James Beacham, a researcher with the ATLAS Experiment Group at Ohio State University, explains in this two-minute video.

From Voice of America, May 11, 2016: As the Large Hadron Collider returns to full operation, scientists at Fermilab, America’s premier particle physics lab, are excited about a tantalizing discovery made at CERN.

Theorists map and navigate the sea of possible particle discoveries.

The Higgs field gives mass to elementary particles, but most of our mass comes from somewhere else.

After months of winter hibernation, the Large Hadron Collider is once again smashing protons and taking data. The LHC will run around the clock for the next six months and produce six times more collisions than in 2015.

From Cold Facts, April 20, 2016: Fermilab’s work on LCLS-II is highlighted in a round-up of cryogenic facilities at national laboratories.
