Be a part of pARTicles 2.0 – Online Gallery
As with any new creation, it all starts with an idea: When Fermilab scientists identify a research problem, they conceive a solution, converse with others in their community to develop it further, and then, over months, years or decades, design and build an experiment or a technology that addresses it. The result — new data, a new machine, a new sensor — is a fulfillment of that initial idea and a continuation of the larger mission: to delve into matter, energy, space, and time.
The artists who have submitted their artwork to Be a part of pARTicles 2.0 have interpreted words and data from science onto canvas with oils, watercolors, digital imagery, photos of a mural, shock fossils, woodcuts and LEDs. These artists are from 14 states (Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington) and 17 countries (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Lebanon, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States).
With all these different viewpoints, ages and locations across the globe, what a colorful canvas we have created!
Thank you for being a part of pARTicles 2.0.

Youth Gallery
Astronomer Carl Sagan said that every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist. So many natural-born scientists participated in pARTicles 2.0 that a Youth Gallery was created. Young artists from around the world, including those in a classroom 5,700 miles away from Fermilab in Turkey, shared their imaginations with us. We invite you to explore the works of these artists.
A special thank you goes out to the parents, and teachers, and to all who inspire and encourage. To the young artists we thank you for sharing your creations. To all of you, we share the words of Albert Einstein: “The important thing is to never stop questioning.”
With all of these different viewpoints, ages, and locations across the globe, what a colorful canvas we have created!
THANK YOU
Elif Yıldız - PARÇACIKLARIN DANSI ( DANCES OF PARTİCLES ) - I tried to make a new generation atom here.
Burak Eren Cuzdanci-Atom 1
Yiğit KARADAĞ - I created those drawing inspired by wormholes in space.
Zulal Cortu, Structure Of Atom
Muhammet Efe Tiryaki -Charm Effects - I imagine modeling the smallest sub-atomic particles.
Cihangir Durgut - Atomic particle
Jackson Wittenberg - Compiled screenshots of computer-generated graphs
Elif Nur Gönen, A Miraculous Collision - I modeled the collision of two atoms using materials at home.
Ecmel Erem Akyüz - Rings of the Atom - I wanted to make an atom,it has neutrons and protons inside, and the rings on the outside are electrons. I wanted to make the inside out of paper.

Ava Penn - Schrödinger's Stuffed Cat, Fabric, thread, stuffing, and wire, 7.5in x 5in x 2.5in - These sculptures are children's toys, representing fundamental physics concepts. In the 21st century, we are calling for a movement towards a working grand unified theory. My hope is these items will spark the minds of our youngest generation, pushing them towards a GUT. These two toys are meant to be touched, played with, and simple for everyone to understand. Sculpture 1 came from a flawed claim that quantum superposition allows a cat to be dead and alive simultaneously (Schrodinger's thought experiment). This slinky-like stuffed animal can be sprawled out revealing its plush guts, or collapsed into an alive-looking, solid cat, showing the cat must exist in one state at a time. Image 2 is a balancing toy, modeling the neutrino. Each flavor is a scoop on the cone. Because neutrinos oscillate between the tau, muon, and electron flavor, these scoops can move around on the toy like a balancing game.
