From PBS Digital Studios’ The Good Stuff: Dark matter makes up 70 percent of the known universe, and we know very little about it. This video on dark matter includes an interview with theorist Patrick Fox and a tour of the MINOS underground area at Fermilab.

From Silicon Republic, April 8, 2016: Researchers in the United States, including Fermilab researchers, and CERN have teamed up to produce 20 new accelerator magnets, which, when put together into the next LHC in 2026, will up its power by a factor of ten.

The collaboration between Russian institutions and Fermilab in the 1980s became, for some, a symbol of two competing countries overcoming their differences and working together to move the field of particle physics forward.

One: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment will look for more than just neutrinos.

A partnership between three national U.S. laboratories and CERN to upgrade the LHC has yielded the strongest accelerator magnet ever created.

A high school science class participates in CMS data analysis through QuarkNet.

From OSTI blog, April 1, 2016: The DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information is working with Fermilab scientist Jim Simone to register scientific datasets produced by a domain collaboration.

Perplexed by gravity? Don’t let it get you down.
