“IceCube grew out of ideas developed in the early 1960s,” says @berkeleylab's Spencer Klein -- who worked on IceCube alongside Francis Halzen starting in the 2000s. “It’s worked far better than we could ever have expected when we were getting started.” physicstoday.aip.org/news/fr…

“The holy grail of particle physics is to search and find things that disagree with the Standard Model,” says @BerkeleyLab's Aaron Manalaysay. “And dark matter is one of those, and that motivates everyone.”

Berkeley Lab’s cyclotron changed more than physics, it helped invent team science. Ernest O. Lawrence’s collaborative model became a blueprint for @ENERGY’s national laboratories. #Freedom250 #DOE
