In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins.

The Short-Baseline Near Detector has logged the largest sample of neutrino interactions in liquid argon in the world. Newly elected, Andrzej Szelc will co-lead SBND during the next phase of the experiment.

Photographers from the United States and Europe received exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours of areas and experiments that are typically not accessible to the public. The three winning photos were selected by a panel of Fermilab judges from 63 submissions and will move on to the global competition.

Troy England is an engineer at Fermilab who designs microelectronics that can function in the ultracold spaces required by quantum systems. His work is helping scientists get better data to explore particle interactions and understand qubit behavior.

Several components developed, assembled and tested by the HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project, a consortium of U.S. national laboratories and institutions, including Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, take center stage as engineers at CERN build and test a section of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, a major upgrade to the world’s most powerful supercollider.

A new feasibility study for constructing machines that will enable further understanding of the Higgs boson and the exploration of the next energy frontier in particle physics was the focus of researchers participating in the U.S. Higgs Factory – Future Circular Collider Workshop.

Fermilab is forging innovative partnerships with community colleges to develop the next generation of technical talent. Through hands-on internships and collaborative curriculum development, students are gaining access to real-world experiences that launch meaningful careers in science and engineering.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab recently to see firsthand how the lab is advancing American leadership in fundamental science, artificial intelligence and quantum research. During his tour, he explored cutting-edge projects and praised Fermilab’s commitment to understanding the structure of the universe.

Mackenzie Ring helps bring quantum research to life as a mechanical technician for the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center at Fermilab, assembling and maintaining the complex systems inside the SQMS dilution refrigerators. Mackenzie’s role combines hands-on work, problem-solving and collaboration to support cutting-edge experiments at the forefront of science.
