From the Aurora Beacon-News, Nov. 10, 2016: Artist Ellen Sandor spent months talking with Fermilab scientists and learning about the ways they study subatomic particles called neutrinos.
Next year, the country’s premier particle physics laboratory celebrates 50 years of discovery and innovation with a huge open house and many other events.
On Friday, Dec. 2, the public and the media will get the chance to see what Fermilab artist-in-residence Ellen Sandor and her (art)n team have been working on, as her exhibit “Neutrinos in a New Light” opens at the Fermilab Art Gallery with a reception from 5-8 p.m.
Theorists think dark matter was forged in the hot aftermath of the Big Bang.
The U.S. Department of Energy supports a suite of cutting-edge science experiments at Sanford Lab. Fermilab has assumed a new role at the South Dakota facility.
From Inside Science, Nov. 2, 2016: In this 3-minute video, DUNE co-spokesperson Mark Thomson talks about Fermilab’s search for neutrinos and how scientists capture the rare interactions of the elusive particles. Fermilab’s DUNE animation is featured.
A theoretical particle that adapts to its surroundings could explain the accelerating expansion of our universe.
The setting provided by founding Director Bob Wilson’s creative design of the laboratory and his many sculptures are an enduring source of pride for those associated with Fermilab and for the surrounding community. One of the sculptures that has gained widespread attention is “Tractricious.”
Beginning in August, Fermilab’s Batavia Road gate came under the watchful eyes of several sandhill cranes. As employees and visitors alike passed through the gate, it would be difficult to miss these stately sentinels.
