#ExplainIn20Seconds Ever wondered what a scintillator is? This animation explains it. Scientists Fermilab use scintillators in particle detectors to detect and study the basic building blocks of matter at the very fundamental level.

We're looking forward to the Fall 2025 session of Saturday Morning Physics! Registration opens August 11 – All the information is available at education.fnal.gov/program/saturd…

#DidYouKnow There is an amazing connection between the smallest and largest things in the universe. Fermilab we explore nature at the extreme scales of very small (such as neutrinos and quarks) and very large (galaxies, dark matter, dark energy).

Amy Nam, Guest Composer for 2025, gained insights into quantum science during a recent tour as research for a musical composition. Could you be our next Guest Composer? Apply for 2026 Guest Artist or Guest Composer at Fermilab until 9/10. events.fnal.gov/art-gallery/

“It was Mission: Impossible,” Gouskos says. “Our goal was to make it possible.” Check out this Symmetry article to learn how Gouskos and a team of scientist use machine learning to further our understanding of particle physics. symmetrymagazine.org/article/imposs…

The Lederman Science Center is closed Thursday August 7th. We will resume our regular schedule on Friday, August 8th.

#ExplainIn20Seconds Ever wondered why quantum computers are more efficient than classical ones? This short video explains it!

Registration for the Fall 2025 session of Saturday Morning Physics is live! Schedule information and registration is at education.fnal.gov/program/saturd…

#DidYouKnow Dark matter can bend light? When light from a distant star passes near a massive object, such as a galaxy or dark matter halo, the gravitational pull of the massive object deflects the light so that an observer on Earth sees two virtual images of the star.

#ExplainIn20Seconds Ever wondered what a particle jet means? This video explains it! When top quark was discovered Fermilab, millions of particle jets were analyzed to gather the necessary data.

Fermilab science inspired Roger Zare’s Deep Underground performed by 21 bands across the country to an audience of 8,320. Could you be the next Guest Composer at Fermilab? Open call to 9/10. events.fnal.gov/art-gallery/

#DidYouKnow The Mu2e experiment Fermilab explores muon-to-electron conversion. Quarks and neutrinos can change from one type to another. Can muons turn into electrons? This question is central to understanding what physics lies beyond the Standard Model.

How does a chorus of tuned glasses relate to the phenomenon of resonance in science? Join the Colloquium at 3:30 pm on 8/27 to find out – Wilson Hall One West! events.fnal.gov/colloquium/ REALID compliant identification required for site access.

#ExplainIn20Seconds Ever wondered what CP violation means in particle physics? This video explains it! Direct CP violation in kaon decays was observed Fermilab in 1999.
