When physics turns physical. #Fermilabs50th
The stair challenge at Oak Brook
news.fnal.gov
One day Robert Wilson decided that, instead of taking the elevator, he would climb 10 flights of stairs to work. Some of the rest of us followed his example, and then we got the idea that we’d see who could do it the fastest.

The question is more complicated than it seems.

Inside a workshop at CERN sits a two-story-tall cube with thick steel walls that resemble castle turrets. This cube will eventually hold a prototype detector for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE)—the flagship research program hosted at Fermilab to study neutrinos.

Even if Janet Conrad doesn't find these sterile strange little beast, she will have contributed much to our understanding.

Do you know why Fermilab is named Fermilab? #Fermilabs50th
Why are we called Fermilab?
news.fnal.gov
Many visitors to Fermilab reasonably conclude from its name that Enrico Fermi worked at the laboratory, but he never did. In fact, he died in 1954, years before scientists even officially recommended the construction of a U.S. accelerator laboratory.

How do you get a fragile, irreplaceable detector from Chicago to Europe? In a commercial airline seat, naturally.

Working together, particle physicists from the US and around the globe made exciting advances this year in our understanding of the universe at the smallest and largest scales.
2016 year in particle physics
symmetrymagazine.org
Scientists furthered studies of the Higgs boson, neutrinos, dark matter, dark energy and cosmic inflation and continued the search for undiscovered particles, forces and principles.

Advancing knowledge of the fundamental nature of matter and energy.
Introduction
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is the premier particle physics lab in the United States. Founded as the National Accelerator Laboratory in 1967, it was renamed after physicist Enrico Fermi in 1974. Since its inception, Fermilab has been a world  leader in particle physics, with discoveries including the bottom quark, top quark and tau neutrino, three of the elementary particles that make up our universe.

Fermilab is home to approximately 1,700 scientists, engineers, technicians and support staff, and hosts about 2,500 visiting scientists from around the world. The laboratory is operated by the Fermi Research Alliance for the U.S. Department of Energy. More information can be found at www.fnal.gov.
