Trying to work out what dark energy really is (or if it even exists) requires accurate measurements, particularly of the rate at which the universe is expanding.
People went to great lengths, traveling almost 9000 kilometers over more than 60 days, to deliver an essential, 200-ton component of the KATRIN neutrino experiment.
Tim Rupp and Joe Klemencic, two of Fermilab’s computer security wizards, posed as the bad guys to offer a challenge in the Indiana state-wide college cyber defense competition held at Indiana Tech.
Take one part unidentified goop. Add three parts mysterious energy. Throw in a dash of ordinary atoms. Mix. Compress. Explode. Let expand for 13.7 billion years.
Science fair season is here, so we at symmetry were not surprised when 12-year-old Austin Ellsworth of Spring, Texas, called with a few questions about his science fair project.
In 1985, ten years before scientists at Fermilab discovered the top quark, Scott Willenbrock was a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin.
