Gray Putnam, James Mott, Lauren Yates and Chris Jensen are this year’s recipients of the URA Honorary Awards. The awards are presented each year to recognize significant contributions to research at Fermilab.

DOE’s Office of High Energy Physics has recommitted and significantly increased its investment in Fermilab’s VALOR program. The military veterans’ job program was awarded $8 million over the next five years, demonstrating DOE and Fermilab’s commitment to workforce development for U.S. veterans.

Norbert Holtkamp brings deep scientific and operational expertise to Fermilab, having managed large scientific projects throughout his career.

The experiment demonstrated the power of liquid-argon time projection chamber technology for neutrino research, and to date, the collaboration has published more than 80 scientific papers, helping lay the foundation for Fermilab’s neutrino research program.

Fermilab and a Chicagoland firm Proficio Consultancy are teaming up to develop a specialized water treatment system that uses beams of electrons to destroy harmful chemicals in water.

Fermilab’s newest leading-edge research building, named after renowned accelerator physicist Helen Edwards, was dedicated today in a formal ceremony with DOE, state and local officials. The newly-dedicated research center serves as a collaborative hub for engineers, technicians, scientists and experts from across the lab as Fermilab enters a new era of research.

Fermilab is hosting a national symposium that brings together experts from across the quantum information science community. The event comes as the United States expands its leadership in quantum technology and underscores Fermilab’s increasing emphasis on QIS research.

Scientists on the MicroBooNE experiment further ruled out the possibility of one sterile neutrino as an explanation for results from previous experiments. In the latest MicroBooNE result, the collaboration used one detector and two beams to study neutrino behavior, ruling out the single sterile neutrino model with 95% certainty.

President Trump issued an Executive Order on November 24 to launch the Genesis Mission, a historic national effort led by the US Department of Energy.
