Collider Detector at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The Collider Detector is part of a complex of atom-equipment scientists at Fermilab have been building. The 45 ton, two story devise is designed to capture and catalog subnuclear fragments that scatter from head-on collisions of protons and antiprotons. It uses about 100,000 electronic channels to gather and record data from each collision. Scientists believe the detector will greatly improve understanding of the makeup of the universe. USDOE.
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, led by the U.S. and China initiated by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, is the most sensitive reactor experiment in the world. The results promise new insight into why enough ordinary matter survived after the big bang to form everything visible in the universe. USDE
Network and power connections at the rear of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Olympus supercomputer take on blue and red hues in the glow of the electronic lights. Olympus, the new theoretical 162-Teraflop peak supercomputer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, is helping scientists do more complex, advanced research in areas such as climate science and smart grid development.
