Fermilab hosts successful Outdoor Family Fair
The popular public educational event showcased Fermilab science and natural areas.
Fermilab is America’s particle physics and accelerator laboratory. Our vision is to solve the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time for the benefit of all.
The theoretical work of preparing for DUNE
Phenomenologists must make precise predictions for what they expect DUNE data to look like.
LHC physicists can’t save them all
As upgrades enable the LHC to produce more and more particle collisions, physicists are using machine learning to keep up with the growing task of sorting through everything.
Fermilab astrophysicist receives 2023 DOE Early Career Research award to build more sensitive detectors to observe distant galaxies
The U.S. Department of Energy awarded Guillermo Fernandez Moroni $2.5 million over 5 years to fund his project developing sensors to study the early universe. His work could enable surveying tens of thousands of distant galaxies at a time.
Can we fit the universe in a box?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a computer answer all of the biggest questions in the universe?
Fermilab’s SQMS Center inaugurates quantum information science and technology facility: “The Quantum Garage”
