The Fermilab Office of Education and Public Engagement: Bringing Fermilab science to you!
Batavia, IL
Joined June 2009
Join us on November 20th at 6pm to learn about Fermilab research from our early career scientist! Don't miss your spot to learn more and help us select the Fermilab representative for the National Lab Research SLAM finals. Registration required at https://t.co/boU3KIZmXK

#DidYouKnow The Big Bang was not an explosion; it was a rapid expansion of spacetime from a hot, dense soup of elementary particles to the current, vast universe.

Fermilab is building a new linear accelerator! 🤩 The @PIP2accelerator will power the world’s most intense high-energy neutrino beam for @DUNEscience. In this video, take a behind the scenes look inside the tunnel that will house the new 800-million-electronvolt linac.

#CanYouGuess that word? Replace each number with the first letter of the object's name in images 1 to 7. Hint: we use this as a superconducting material in our particle accelerators @Fermilab.

#DidYouKnow you can take a picture of a hidden object using Quantum Ghost Imaging? With this technique you can illuminate an object using invisible infrared photons entangled with visible light photons. This animation explains how it works.

#DidYouKnow Scientists think, neutrinos and antineutrinos behave differently. Only left-handed neutrinos and right-handed antineutrinos have been observed. This means, neutrinos violate C and P symmetries. #neutrinos @Fermilab
