Why Particle Physics Matters
Particle physicists dedicate their lives to understanding the fundamental nature of energy, matter, space and time. Why do they do it? Why is it important for the rest of us? We asked scientists from nine universities and four national laboratories and summarized their answers in this 2-minute video.

Muon g-2's Big Move
Over 35 days this summer, the Muon g-2 team successfully moved a 50-foot-wide fragile electromagnet from New York to Illinois, taking it 3,200 miles over land and sea. The magnet will be used in Fermilab's new Muon g-2 experiment. Read more about it below.

Construction of the NOvA experiment
A new neutrino experiment, called NOvA, is under construction at Fermilab and in Ash River, Minnesota. The team of scientists, engineers and technicians will complete the 330-ton near detector and 14,000-ton far detector in 2014. The first section of the detector started recording 3-D particle tracks in March 2013.
