Brian Ingram of Argonne National Laboratories makes a presentation on his battery research at the 2015 Fermilab Physics Slam.

Scientists, engineers and technicians are preparing for the assembly of a 15,000-ton neutrino detector in Ash River, Minnesota.

They gather at Fermilab to test a very large, critical piece of equipment that will be used in the assembly of this detector

The 35-ton prototype will test technology potentially slated for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

An international group of scientists are designing an accelerator-driven system that could produce energy and recycle nuclear waste. Fermilab recently hosted physicists and engineers from around the world at a workshop on the applications of high-intensity proton accelerators to consider this idea and others. In this video, three attendees from Fermilab's workshop discuss accelerator-driven systems.

Physicist Federico Izraelevitch normally works on projects at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, but for the next year he will be on a different mission: leading hardware and instrumentation workshops throughout Latin America. The Escaramujo Project will take kits to build cosmic ray detectors to various institutions to encourage physicists to learn more about the components used in massive physics projects and join international collaborations seeking the secrets of the universe. The project is made possible by many partners. Learn more at www.escaramujoproject.org. Spanish subtitles are enabled for this video.

Local proprietors Steve and Deb Wieber discuss the impact of the NOvA experiment on their community.

In 1967, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory began to grow on the Illinois prairie, forty miles west of Chicago. Through the intelligence, ingenuity and commitment of many people, it grew into one of the world’s great research institutions—a truly international resource for physicists from around the world. In this hour-long presentation, Dr. Chris Quigg, who’s worked at Fermilab since 1974, traces the lab’s evolution from start-up to world-leading research center, highlighting landmark discoveries while recalling iconic moments and extraordinary characters. The presentation was given in Fermilab’s Ramsey Auditorium on Jan. 27, 2017, as part of Fermilab’s 50-year anniversary activities.

Anxious for the safe arrival of the long-awaited vessel that would house the MicroBooNE particle detector, scientists Bonnie Fleming and Gina Rameika decide not to sit around and wait for it. Instead, they get in a car and head into neighboring towns to look for a big, school-bus-sized object being hauled by a truck.

Fermilab Director Nigel Lockyer presents current particle accelerator applications in industry, medicine and national security and discusses potential future applications: cleaning waste water, capturing gas at oil wells, treating flue gas at coal power stations, and improving durability of asphalt on roads and highways. He gave his talk at the Midwest launch of the Accelerator Stewardship Test Facility Pilot Program, ( http://iarc.fnal.gov/pilot/ ) held by Fermilab and Argonne on April 28, 2015. The program aims to give industrial partners access to particle accelerator technologies, test facilities and experts at Department of Energy national laboratories as part DOE’s accelerator stewardship program.

Dr. Yuji Yamazaki, a host of the Physics in Collision 2009 conference, and Dr. Thomas Muller, who will host the conference in 2010, talk about PIC 2009 in Kobe, Japan.

Why I Love Neutrinos is a series spotlighting those mysterious, abundant, ghostly particles that are all around us. This installment features Professor Naba Mondal . For more information on neutrinos, visit the Fermilab website at http://www.fnal.gov.d

Fermilab’s VetTech internship program seeks out military veterans for technical and computing positions across the lab. It puts their skills to work in a high-tech environment at America’s premier particle physics laboratory with an eye toward making them part of the team. The program, now in its third year, is a win-win for everyone. Learn more here: http://internships.fnal.gov/vettech.

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.

Even as Fermilab produces world-class research, it is closely tied to the local community, drawing students and teachers through its public engagement programs. Some of the lab's younger guests are impressive, as illustrated by an encounter that scientist Sowjanya Gollapinni shared with a visiting middle school neighbor.

Astronomy collaborations like the Dark Energy Survey, which Fermilab leads, can track down the visible sources of gravitational waves caused by binary neutron stars. This animation takes you through the collision of two neutron stars, and shows you the explosion of light and energy seen by the Dark Energy Camera on August 17, 2017.

Particle physics research is both international and collaborative, with large national laboratories working together to most efficiently advance science. Joel Butler, Distinguished Scientist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is the leader of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the CERN laboratory in Europe. In this video, Joel tells us a bit about what it’s like.

Fermilab recently hosted more than 300 middle school students from 13 schools for a special showing of Hidden Figures and a panel discussion with four Fermilab scientists, including Kirsty Duffy. This video was played as part of the panel introductions.

The goal of the program was to show fifth- to eighth-grade students that entering a STEM field was possible for them – no matter their background. You can read more about the event here:

As a child, Kirsty Duffy learned about the smallest building blocks that make up the world and was inspired to pursue physics through high school and college. Often the only woman in her class or experiment, she talks not only about self-doubt in one's abilities, but the thrill of making a discovery and being the one to share it with the world.

Fermilab's Kurt Riesselmann explains how to make a jelly bean universe to help explain the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.

Fermilab researchers Heidi Schellman and Ann Heinson take a whimsical look at the recent announcement of the discovery of the single top quark, by Fermilab's CDF and DZero experiments.
