  2. NOvA collaboration members stand in front of the first installed block of the NOvA far detector in Ash River, Minnesota.

    Each block of the detector measures 51 by 51 by 7 feet and is made up of 384 plastic PVC modules. About 170 students from the University of Minnesota built the modules, stringing them with optical fibers and attaching their endcaps.

  3. If you signed up for the Photowalk on Sept. 22, you should have received an email letting you know whether you were among the first 50, and have a spot reserved for you. If you landed on the wait list, we will let you know if a slot opens up for you. We're still taking registrations, but new ones will end up on the wait list. Thanks to everyone for entering!
  4. Quark-gluon plasma is a state of matter that shows itself only at extremely high temperatures. Scientists are busy producing the stuff at Brookhaven's RHIC accelerator and CERN's LHC.

    Don Lincoln explains what this strange state of matter is and what it can tell us about the origins of the universe.
  5. Our friends on the NOvA experiment have been following the move since the wee hours of morning. Check out their coverage and follow along on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/novaexperiment. Follow them on Twitter @NOvANuz.

  6. Here's a different view of the first block of the NOvA Far Detector as it sits in the pivoter, just to give you some sense of scale. To read more about the experiment, check out our press release here: http://www.fnal.gov/pub/presspass/press_releases/2012/NOvA-20120906.html

  7. How would you like to watch the creation of the most powerful neutrino experiment in North America, live as it happens? We've installed webcams at the site of the NOvA far detector in Ash River, Minnesota, and later today, crews will move the massive first block of the detector into place. We'll let you know when the move starts!
  8. Attention all local photographers. Fermilab will host a Photowalk on Sept. 22 from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Registration is free, but limited - we're only taking the first 50 people who enter. Read all about it below. Hope to see you there!
  9. From today's Director's Corner: At this week's HEPAP meeting, members of the particle physics community discuss ways to support the construction of the LBNE experiment.

  12. How does big particle physics data get distributed around the globe? Read symmetry to learn how it works.
