Installation has begun for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, a next-generation astrophysics tool. Fermilab is managing key parts of the construction of the instrument, which will begin its five-year observation run in 2019.
Representatives from local small businesses are invited to discuss opportunities to strengthen relationships between the lab and the local business community at the March 14 fair.
Fermilab’s Family Open House is a chance for the whole family to spend an afternoon learning about science in a hands-on way and have fun doing it. This year’s event runs from 1-5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 11.
Fermilab is seeking new members for its Community Advisory Board, which meets every other month and includes neighbors from the Chicagoland area.
A Fermilab team built and tested the first new superconducting accelerator cryomodule for the LCLS-II project, which will be the nation’s only X-ray free-electron laser facility.
Fermilab is pleased to announce that New York-based photographer Adam Nadel has been selected as the lab’s artist-in-residence for 2018.
Scientists on the Dark Energy Survey announced the public release of their first three years of data. This first major release of data includes information on about 400 million astronomical objects.
The world will soon be celebrating the hunt for the universe’s most elusive matter in a series of Dark Matter Day events planned in over a dozen countries.
Researchers from Caltech and the University of Southern California report the first application of quantum computing to a physics problem. By employing quantum-compatible machine learning techniques, they developed a method of extracting a rare Higgs boson signal from copious noise data.
A team of scientists using the Dark Energy Camera was among the first to observe the fiery aftermath of a recently detected burst of gravitational waves, recording images of the first confirmed explosion from two colliding neutron stars ever seen by astronomers.
