We're preparing for a big move today at Fermilab! The second superconducting solenoid magnet built for the @Mu2eExperiment is traveling some 1.5 miles across campus to its permanent home. 🧲 Stay tuned for updates throughout the day!

Nice summary! Dark Matter Day will be celebrated by participating institutions in October.

[Dark Matter Day @DarkMatterDay]

There are 3 main ways that scientists are trying to study dark matter: make it, break it, or shake it. “Make it” experiments smash particles together and look at the particle debris for dark matter. 🧵(1/3)

@richsmit4 @Fermilab Scientists are using muons to examine the interior of large, massive objects, from pyramids to nuclear reactors:

Join Fermilab, @CERN and @SanfordLab tomorrow for #DUNEParticlePursuit, a journey of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment!

We're going live at 11 a.m. CDT on YouTube ➡️ https://t.co/j6SMO815ni

A new Twitter account with the latest news on the construction of the PIP-II particle accelerator at Fermilab! #pip2

[PIP-II Accelerator Project @PIP2accelerator]

👋 Hello, Twitter!

We are the Proton Improvement Plan II project, or PIP-II: an essential enhancement to the @Fermilab accelerator complex. Our new #LinearAccelerator will one day power the world’s most intense high-energy #neutrino beam.

And we are slowly and safely coming out of the building!

[Short Baseline Near Detector @sbnddetector]

It is moving! #SBND #SBNDonTheMove #Fermilab

[Fermilab @Fermilab]

An exciting move is underway at Fermilab: A 20,000-pound neutrino detection system built for the Short-Baseline Near Detector will travel 3 miles across the lab campus today. https://t.co/h28jRh3bEs

Stay tuned for updates on its progress.

In a flurry of papers posted today, the DES collaboration at @Fermilab shares and explains their precision measurements of the evolution of the universe. Lots of great photos are in the thread below.

5,000 little robots are now in action to help solve the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy and more! It's amazing to see the progress in the instruments and technologies that astrophysicists use to explore the universe.

@cfilleke @Fermilab Fermilab hosts American bison, which are native to North America. They are often called buffalo. (Ever heard of famous Bison Bill? Of course not.) However, the true buffalo (for example, water buffalo) are native to Africa and Asia. Early settlers didn't know they are different.

[Kurt Riesselmann @KurtRiesselmann]

Where else can you work on cutting-edge research and have bison roaming in the fields. What a great laboratory.

Make your official predictions! What do you think the first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab will show? #gminus2

[Fermilab @Fermilab]

We're less than 24 hours away from learning the first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab! #gminus2

Excellent explanation by @RosePastore, Gizmodo, what the odderon discovery, based on data collected at @CERN and @Fermilab, really means. Great article. I hope Christophe Royon and his colleagues get to have their party. #colliderphysics

"If there was ever a time to put on the mask, this is it," Collins told MSNBC Saturday. "Every bit of data proves that mask wearing reduces infections, reduces deaths."

(1 of 2) The removal of mask mandates flies in the face of what should be done as the B.1.1.7 strain picks up steam, said Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health.

@ferpsihas Wonderful. Congratulations!
