Fermilab

Like a covalent ionic bond formed in the super-cooled beam line of the tevatron, the working relationship between Sandbox and Fermilab is one of our universe’s strong forces (and probably contains the Higgs boson somewhere).

symmetry Accelerates to 12 Web-Based Issues per Year

Since 2004, Sandbox has collaborated with Fermilab and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to design and produce the particle physics magazine, symmetry. At the time, symmetry was a 10-times-a-year publication that, with the help of Xeno Media, was also made available online.

Now, after 51 print issues, symmetry is transformi…   more »

symmetry, Seven Years On

In the wake of the release of symmetry‘s fiftieth issue, we were reminded that today, Friday, October 28th, 2011, marks the seventh anniversary of symmetry‘s official web launch. The occasion was documented in that morning’s edition of Fermilab Today. What crazy, freewheelin’ times those were.

ICFA Beacons of Discovery

Beacons of Discovery

The International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) recently published a vision for the global science of particle physics in their report, “Beacons of Discovery.” The report states what particle physicists know about the universe, what questions remain, and what tools physicists plan on using to answer th…   more »

symmetry Magazine, October 2011

This issue of symmetry Magazine is not only fascinating, it also happens to be symmetry‘s 50th issue!

In the issue, readers get a firsthand look at the new, proposed accelerator at Fermilab, a physicist turned cancer researcher at SLAC, and another Fermilab experiment that looks into the reality of 3D.
