The Hubble tension: Is cosmology in crisis?
From Big Think, Nov. 2, 2022: Don Lincoln explores Hubble tension, two very precise yet conflicting estimates of the rate at which the Universe is expanding. While the of Universe expansion is consistent, the two ways in which this is measured begs the question if something is missing in cosmology theory.
A minute with Sajid Ali Syed, computational science and AI research associate
Always looking for a new trail to ride his bike on or an opportunity to catch a live show in town, Sajid Ali Syed is a research associate in the Computational Science and AI Directorate for high-energy physics applications at Fermilab.
How to maintain a physics experiment in a desert
Threats of scorching heat, walls of tumbleweed, and countless critters mean innovation is a must for the facilities manager for LIGO Hanford Observatory.
Wobbling into the new frontier of physics: VSP Awardee Brynn MacCoy contributes detector systems to Muon g-2 experiment to test Standard Model
From the Universities Research Association, October 31, 2022: Brynn MacCoy is a physics doctoral candidate at the University of Washington and the Fall 2019 URA Visiting Scholar Program (VSP) Awardee. With an extension of URA assistance, MacCoy returned to Fermilab earlier this year allowing her to install the Minimally Intrusive Scintillating Fiber Detector.
New MicroBooNE analysis takes a closer look at the sterile neutrino
The MicroBooNE collaboration at Fermilab has released a new analysis of their neutrino data. The result provides constraints on a model that assumes the existence of a sterile neutrino to explain anomalies in neutrino measurements by other experiments.
Largest potentially hazardous asteroid detected in 8 years
Twilight observations from Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory spot three, large near-Earth objects lurking in the inner solar system.
New Schmidt futures fellowship at UChicago to foster next generation of AI-driven scientists
From UChicago News, October 26, 2022: The University of Chicago announced a new $148 million fellowship initiative that will train the next generation of scientists combining research in AI and science fields, including physics, astronomy and biology. The fellowship will begin in January 2023 and include Fermilab, Argonne, UChicago Data Science Institute and the Marine Biological Laboratory.
DOE announces two 2022 Office of Science Distinguished Scientist Fellows
From the DOE Office of Science, October 26, 2022: Congratulations to Fermilab’s Dr. Marcela Carena on being named Distinguished Scientist Fellow by the Department of Energy for her leadership and influential contributions to particle physics. Read more about this honor as well as who the other recipient is this year.
How fast is gravity, exactly?
From Big Think, October 25, 2022: Don Lincoln explores the two theories of gravity from Newton and Einstein. Due to astronomers observations of gravitational waves recorded in 2017, we now know that gravity and light travel at the same speed.
