From the College of DuPage, Jan. 4, 2023: Who says robots can’t be fashionable? This video tells the story of why SPOT the Fermilab robot needed a little fashion in his life. Thanks to the College of DuPage Fashion Studies students, SPOT now has designer protective gear.
Fermilab scientists are developing one of the most cold-tolerant robots ever made so they can monitor the interiors of particle detectors. The project has already garnered some interest from engineers at other research institutions, including NASA.
DESI will capture and study the light from tens of millions of galaxies and other distant objects to better understand our universe and the properties of dark energy. The formal start of DESI’s five-year survey follows a four-month trial run of its custom instrumentation that captured 4-million spectra of galaxies — more than the combined output of all previous spectroscopic surveys. Fermilab has contributed multiple components to the international collaboration led by Berkeley Lab.
