One step closer: Mu2e reaches milestone in construction of novel experiment

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Magnets play a key role in looking for the direct transformation of muons into electrons, a theorized phenomenon that Fermilab's Mu2e experiment will hunt for when it comes online in 2023. In an important milestone, seven essential magnets have passed testing and been accepted for the construction of the experiment.

3D-printed weather stations could enable more science for less money

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

3D printing and low-cost sensors have made it possible to build a weather station for a few hundred dollars. Could these inexpensive, homegrown versions perform as well as their pricier counterparts?

NOvA turns its eyes to the skies

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

The NOvA experiment, best known for its measurements of neutrino oscillations using particle beams from Fermilab accelerators, has been turning its attention to measurements of cosmic phenomena. In a series of results, NOvA reports on neutrinos from supernovae, gravitational-wave events from black hole mergers, muons from cosmic rays, and its search for the elusive monopole.

Argonne's first 3D look into fuel injector will improve efficiency, reliability

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The first visualization of its kind, created by using powerful X-rays at Argonne's Advanced Photon Source, will lead to improved manufacturing and efficiency.

Scientists work to shed light on Standard Model of particle physics

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In a collaborative project with Fermilab, Argonne scientists mapped the magnetic field inside a vacuum with unprecedented accuracy. Results will be used in an experiment to shed light on the Standard Model of particle physics.
