Over a couple of months in late 2011, the two communication interns, along with TRIUMF web publishing coordinator Jennifer Gagné, created “99 Things You Can Do At TRIUMF,” a video to give the non-initiated a peek into the lab life. Continue reading →

In a scene straight out of a James Bond film, NASA’s newest high-energy telescope launched into orbit yesterday after being dropped from the underbelly of a Lockheed airplane. Continue reading →

It’s a mystery where ultra-high-energy cosmic rays come from and what they’re made of. But a new technique, currently in the works, could drastically improve scientists’ chances of finding out. Continue reading →

Einstein can breathe a sigh of relief – neutrinos obey the cosmic speed limit after all. Continue reading →

With a 2012 DOE Early Career Research Award, Fermilab scientist Geralyn “Sam” Zeller will advance liquid-argon detector technology to capture neutrinos’ attributes in unprecedented detail. Continue reading →

The OPERA collaboration announced its second observation of a tau neutrino, with strong implications for neutrino oscillation. Continue reading →

Scientists from the MINOS experiment at Fermilab announced today the world’s most precise measurement of a key property of neutrinos. The results confirm that neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antineutrinos, have similar masses. Continue reading →

To shed light on whether or not the neutrino and the antineutrino are one, the EXO-200 collaboration searches for a process that’s only possible if the neutrino and antineutrino are indeed the same. Yesterday, they released their first results: they... Continue reading →
