Trusted by the world’s leading institutions
Fermilab scientist Albert Stebbins was recently awarded the 2014 Scientific Medal of the Institute of Astrophysics of Paris.
Scientists at Fermilab completed the Tevatron data preservation project. The data sets, containing 10 years worth of particle collisions, enable scientists to verify or complement observations made at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
The 570-megapixel Dark Energy Camera, built to observe galaxies far away from Earth, also helps scientists spot and identify objects much closer to home: space junk that could damage satellites, large rocks that could hit Earth and asteroids that traverse our solar system.
The most powerful particle accelerator on Earth soon will reawaken for its second run. Scientists explain how the upgraded capabilities of the Large Hadron Collider and its experiments will give access to a previously inaccessible realm of physics.
To look for a rare particle decay that would bring scientists closer to a unified theory of the elementary forces, scientists have built a prototype detector using the thinnest straws ever installed in a particle physics experiment.
Scientists on two continents have independently discovered a set of celestial objects that seem to belong to the rare category of dwarf satellite galaxies orbiting our home galaxy, the Milky Way.
The 10-meter SPT, which maps the cosmic microwave background, is the largest telescope ever to make its way to the South Pole. A major upgrade will help scientists to determine the masses of neutrinos and further study cosmic inflation.
The long-baseline neutrino experiment formerly known as LBNE has a new name, new members and new leaders. It will be based at Fermilab and send neutrinos 800 miles through the earth to a detector at the Sanford Underground Research Lab in South Dakota.
Last month, a new superconducting magnet developed and fabricated at Fermilab reached its design field of 11.5 Tesla at a temperature nearly as cold as outer space. It is the first successful twin-aperture accelerator magnet made of niobium-3-tin in the world.
With the Large Hadron Collider back in action, the more than 1,700 U.S. scientists who work on LHC experiments are prepared to join thousands of their international colleagues to study the highest-energy particle collisions ever achieved in the laboratory.
