Reader challenge: My physical romance
Before next week’s holiday, we at Symmetry Breaking want to know about your affair with physics. Send us a love letter (or “Dear John” letter) about your research, a playful pun about a physical concept, or a story about a connection you’ve mad... Continue reading
Introducing LHC Lunch
Editor’s note: This article comes from US LHC intern Amy Dusto, who is currently working as a communicator at CERN. She is introducing LHC Lunch, a series of articles and videos she created while getting to know some of the members of experiments at ... Continue reading
Calculating the Universe
Since 2000, the three Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS I, II, and III) have surveyed well over a quarter of the night sky, producing the biggest 3-D color map of the Universe ever made. Now, scientists have used this visual information for the most accu... Continue reading
Fermilab sounds debut in “Alternative Energy”
Most Fermilab personnel have learned to ignore the ubiquitous booms, hums, growls and crackles of Fermilab machinery. But composer Mason Bates places these sounds center stage in his new piece "Alternative Energy." Continue reading
Fermilab plans for a future of discovery
The only laboratory in the United States dedicated entirely to particle physics recently released its plan for the next two decades. Continue reading
Scientists finish installation of 80-ton ‘particle thermometer’ at ALICE detector
Scientists on the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider just completed the installation of a crucial component for tracking high-energy particle jets. Without it, physicists would be lacking crucial tools to select which events out of billions... Continue reading
Cutting-edge accelerator design gets results 60 years later
Daresbury’s high-intensity proton accelerator, called EMMA, gains its technological edge through an accelerator concept nearly abandoned a half century ago. Continue reading
The Tevatron’s enduring computing legacy
Over the course of more than three decades of planning and operation, a tremendous amount of computing innovation was necessary to keep the data flowing and physics results coming at Fermilab's Tevatron. In fact, computing continues to do its work. Alt... Continue reading
