The Muon g-2 ring successfully completed its third and final night of offsite moving on July 25 and 26, 2013. A time lapse of the transporter wheel mechanism shows the independent movement. Some of the material has been sped up 6 - 8 x for the sake of brevity. For more information on Fermilab and the Muon g-2 experiment, visit http://www.fnal.gov.

Fermilab Dr. Greg Rakness is a Hero of the LHC for his work in organizing the commissioning and operations of the Compact Muon Solenoid, one of the two big LHC detectors.

Many know Micky Dolenz for his work as an actor and musician for the Monkees – but he’s also a huge particle physics fan. Dolenz captured some 16mm footage during a 1970 visit to the burgeoning Fermilab, then known as the National Accelerator Laboratory. In 2018, Dolenz donated the footage to the Fermilab archives, along with a brief introduction to the material. Enjoy this glimpse of America’s particle physics lab in its infancy.

A baby bison was born at Fermilab on April 20, 2017. Here is that story.

In this one-hour public lecture Josh Frieman, director of the Dark Energy Survey, presents an overview of our current knowledge of the universe and describe new experiments and observatories. Over the last two decades cosmologists have made remarkable discoveries: Only 4 percent of our universe is made of ordinary matter - atoms, molecules, etc. The other 96 percent is dark, in forms unlike anything with which we are familiar. About 25 percent is dark matter, which holds galaxies and larger-scale structures together and may be a new elementary particle. And 70 percent is thought to be dark energy, an even more mysterious entity which speeds up the expansion of the universe. Josh Frieman is senior staff scientist at the Fermilab and Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics and member of the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics at the University of Chicago. The Dark Energy Survey is a collaboration of 300 scientists from 25 institutions on 3 continents, which built and uses a powerful 570-Megapixel camera on a telescope in Chile to carry out a 5-year survey of 300 million galaxies and thousands of supernovae to probe dark energy and the origin of cosmic acceleration.

More than 180 scientists from 32 institutions are working on the design and construction of the Mu2e experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. On April 18, 2015, the collaboration gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony at the lab. The discovery of the direct conversion of a muon to an electron would revolutionize scientists’ understanding of the symmetries underlying the building blocks of our universe and open the door to finding new particles and forces.

Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, developed 100 years ago, predicts the existence of gravitational waves. In February 2016, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) became the first experiment to observe gravitational waves, created by two black holes spiraling into each other. The discovery became known as the chirp heard around the world. Four month later, a few hours before this public lecture, LIGO announced the discovery of a second signal. This lecture, given by Dr. Barry Barish, LIGO director from 1997 to 2006, explains the physics of gravitational waves, the detection technique used by LIGO, the observations made and the implications these discoveries have on our understanding of the cosmos.

Why I Love Neutrinos is a series spotlighting those mysterious, abundant, ghostly particles that are all around us. This installment features Mark Thomson, professor of physics at the University of Cambridge. For more information on neutrinos, visit the Fermilab website at http://www.fnal.gov.

A short animation to show how a Liquid-Argon Time Projection Chamber can detect a neutrino based upon the neutrino's interaction with an argon atom.

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.

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.

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.

Scientists Rocky Kolb and Mike Turner recount the time they first proposed that Fermilab – dedicated to the study of the universe's smallest constituents — expand its program to include the stars, galaxies and the cosmos.

Collaboration members for the NOvA neutrino experiment held public tours of the future site of the NOvA detector facility the weekend of Minnesota's annual Governor's Fishing Opener. Aside from proximity of the site to the opener, held on Lake Kabetogama, does the experiment have anything to do with fishing? Maybe. Fishing guide Frank House and physicist Mark Messier explain.

The impending restart of the LHC at CERN has everyone excited. In this parody of Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake’s classic #Hashtag video, two US LHC scientists have a Twitter conversation that gives you a sense of what’s going on. It’s going to be totally awesome!

Hey!!! There's More Stuff Down Here!... ↓

About this video...
So you've got that new awesome Camera. So...how the heck do you set it up for video?

NOTE: This episode assumes you are going to use a video editor or After Effects or something to do the color correction YOURSELF. If you're just shooting and uploading, your video will look bland. If you're doing the color correction yourself, your video will look ridiculously AWESOME! :)
