A Wilson cloud chamber is basically a tank of condensed, supercooled water (or alcohol) vapour. It is used to detect high energy particles - ionizing radiation. The radiation, say from cosmic rays, or radioactivity, or particle accelerators and so forth, leave their distinctive trails in the "clouds". Because of conservation laws (conservation of angular momentum, and conservation of charge, in particular) you get these wonderful spiralling trails. If you look carefully, there's a whole lot of symmetries in the image. In fact, if you look really carefully and measure angles, it's possible to get the mass to charge ratio of the particle in question. It's really a magic piece of 20th century science instrumentation.
This is a two colour screenprint I made of clouds and ionization tracks in a cloud chamber.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), fnal.gov/ located just outside Batavia, Illinois, near Chicago, is a US Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics. As of January 1, 2007, Fermilab is operated by the Fermi Research Alliance, a joint venture of the University of Chicago, Illinois Institute of Technology and the Universities Research Association (URA). Fermilab is a part of the Illinois Technology and Research Corridor.

One of the other people on the tour noted that through a small window, one could look into the DIRC SOB (oops...too much jargon. That's the tank I mentioned in the description of this photo). He was able to get a picture using his point and shoot camera. I was able to get this after taking off my external flash and using the built-in flash. Thanks to the autofocus-assist lamp, it's even more or less in focus!
In July Prof. Shailesh Chandrasekharan and postdoctoral associate Dr. Anyi Li traveled to Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe to attend 2011 International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory. It is the biggest annual meeting for all the people who are doing lattice field theory calculations. 350 participants from all over the world have attended this year's conference. Prof. Chandrasekharan and Dr. Li presented their work on the novel developed algorithm which can efficiently simulate the fermionic system at chiral limit. It is believed that the conventional approach would fail at that limit. Their approach has been well received by the audiences and raised lots of interesting questions and discussions. The new algorithm has promising applications on the physics of graphene and unitary fermi gas. They have started implementing the calculations on those problems.

In this picture you are looking at the Alps from CERN. Behind me is The Globe of Science and Innovation and some other mountains--the Jura Mountains.
