Everyone working at National Accelerator Laboratory in the early days knew they were helping to launch something big. Barb Kristen paints a picture of what it was like working at the first office in Oak Brook, Illinois, and later at an office in the Village.

Only neutrinos with a specific spin configuration have been observed. In this 7-minute video, Don Lincoln talks about the possibility of other types of neutrinos, called right-handed or sterile neutrinos.

Ruth Pordes was at Fermilab when computing equipment was first being moved into the laboratory offices. The elevated of status of computers at the laboratory was made evident on move-in day.

Fermilab’s first Latin American scientists came to the lab in 1983, when four researchers from Brazil traveled across the equator to work on experiment E691. Carlos Escobar was one of them. It was the beginning of a collaboration spurred by a bold proposition by Director Leon Lederman.

Marge Bardeen, educator and former head of the Fermilab Education Office, tells the story of how a number of dedicated people started the lab’s first education initiatives.

Accelerator operators found themselves stuck at Fermilab when a fierce snowstorm hit in February 2011. Cindy Joe tells the story of how Fermilab staff rallied through the night while they waited out the blizzard.

The weak force is in many ways unique. Don Lincoln describes its unusual properties and introduces some of the historical figures who played a role in working it all out.

Superconducting radio-frequency technology being developed for particle accelerators will give scientists a better probe for studying the deepest mysteries of the universe.
