In a long line of intellectual triumphs, Einstein’s theory of general relativity was his greatest and most imaginative.  It tells us that what we experience as gravity can be most accurately described as the bending of space itself.  This idea leads to consequences, including gravitational lensing, which is caused by light traveling in this curved space.  This is works in a way analogous to a lens (and hence the name).  In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains a little general relativity, a little gravitational lensing, and tells us how this phenomenon allows us to map out the matter of the entire universe, including the otherwise-invisible dark matter.

While the LHC is currently the highest energy particle accelerator ever built, nothing is forever. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln discusses a new particle accelerator currently under discussion. This accelerator will dwarf the LHC, fully 60 miles around and will accelerate protons to seven times higher energy. The project is merely in the discussion stages and it is a staggering endeavor, but it is the next natural step in our millennium long journey to understand the universe.

Particle accelerator are scientific instruments that allow scientists to collide particles together at incredible energies to study the secrets of the universe. However, there are many manners in which particle accelerators can be constructed. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains the pros and cons of circular and linear accelerators.

Radiation is all around us, ranging from the non-dangerous to the lethal. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln talks about the radiation and gives you the real deal on whether it is dangerous or not. (Spoiler alert: Sometimes!)

The Twin Paradox is the most famous of all of the seeming-inconsistencies of special relativity. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains it without using mathematics. This is a companion video for his earlier one in which the same question was handled mathematically.

The Large Hadron Collider (or LHC) is the world’s most powerful particle accelerator.  In 2012, scientists used data taken by it to discover the Higgs boson, before pausing operations for upgrades and improvements.  In the spring of 2015, the LHC will return to operations with 163% the energy it had before and with three times as many collisions per second.  It’s essentially a new and improved version of itself.  In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains both some of the absolutely amazing scientific and engineering properties of this modern scientific wonder.

There are more than 30,000 particle accelerators in operation around the world. At Fermilab, scientists are collaborating with other laboratories and industry to optimize the manufacturing processes for a new type of powerful accelerator that uses superconducting niobium cavities. Experimenting with unique polishing materials, a Fermilab team has now developed an efficient and environmentally friendly way of creating cavities that can propel particles with more than 30 million volts per meter.

Why I Love Neutrinos is a series spotlighting those mysterious, abundant, ghostly particles that are all around us. This installment features Dr. Steve Brice, deputy director of the Fermilab Neutrino Division. For more information on neutrinos, visit the Fermilab website at http://www.fnal.gov.

Chris Marshall raps his passion for neutrino research at the 2015 Fermilab Physics Slam

Particle physicists dedicate their lives to understanding the fundamental nature of energy, matter, space and time. Why do they do it? We asked them to explain, and a couple dozen bravely stepped forward to do it on camera. See more on http://www.symmetrymagazine.org

Aria Soha was working on her very first shift as a particle accelerator operator when the machines appeared to suddenly lose their stores of particles. Rookie mistake or force majeure?

The final installation of the cryogenic module at the Superconducting RF (radio frequency) Facility at Fermilab creates an asset for testing current and future technologies in the superconducting RF field. Superconducting RF technologies will be critical for development of future accelerator based research facilities, and this facility will help develop, test and analyze these technologies.

Every spring new baby bison are born into the Femilab "buffalo" herd. In 2009, six calves were born. The young calves appear in a cinnamon-colored coat for the first few months. By four months of age, they are dark brown like the adults in the herd. Fermilab Visual Media Services was able to move into the herd, among the newborn, with the help of the herdsman, in a truck that is familiar to the bison.

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 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.

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.

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.
