Teams from Fermilab, CERN, and SURF have teamed up to begin construction on the cryostats that will house approximately 17,000 tons of liquid argon.
Nearly a mile underground in South Dakota, scientists are building a world-leading experiment to study neutrinos and investigate some of the universe’s greatest mysteries, including how the universe took shape after the Big Bang and if neutrinos are the reason our world is predominantly made of matter. Currently, crews from Fermilab, CERN and SURF are assembling large steel beams to form the outer structure of the neutrino experiment’s massive detector modules.
Following years of preparation, the new result from the Short-Baseline Near Detector improves neutrino interaction modeling, paving the way for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
Construction of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility is entering its next phase, marking a major step forward for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment hosted by Fermilab. With the arrival of critical components and growing momentum across partner institutions, DUNE is moving closer to unlocking long standing mysteries in particle physics and the origins of the universe.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in physics to Francis Halzen of the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
DUNE is pioneering the future of neutrino research by integrating artificial intelligence into its experiment, drawing on decades of machine learning work at Fermilab.
A prototype for the world’s biggest neutrino experiment is running under extreme conditions to see how well the technology performs under pressure.

Each year for Neutrino Day, SDPB hosts a special live broadcast a mile underground. This year, SDPB spoke with Mike Headley, SURF laboratory director, Dr. Sowjanya Gollapinni, senior scientist for Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and others about DUNE and Neutrino Day events in Lead, SD.
Fermilab crews have successfully placed the first beamline component in the tunnel that will house the powerful new PIP-II linear accelerator, marking a major milestone for the lab’s future neutrino research program.
As Fermilab commemorates 70 years since the discovery of the neutrino at the Savannah River Site in the United States, the lab also celebrates its multiple generations of pioneering neutrino research. Today, Fermilab is building the next era of neutrino discovery through the development of the world-leading Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
