The major part of the excavation of the caverns for the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility at SURF is nearing completion. The caverns will house the very large detectors for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment in Lead, South Dakota.

In Her Space, Her Time, physicist Shohini Ghose elucidates the stories of women scientists who contributed to and led some of the biggest breakthroughs in astronomy and physics.

Fermilab research and announcements have helped promote the mystery of muons by studying how they wobble as they move through the magnetic ring. With science announcements in 2021 and 2023, science interested readers are wanting to learn more about the heavy cousins of electrons that are constantly raining down on Earth’s surface.

Scientists on the ATLAS collaboration performed the highest-energy measurement of quantum entanglement.

After twenty years of research, development, testing and production, the United States is now shipping state-of-the-art superconducting accelerator magnets to CERN for the high-luminosity upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider. At the heart of these powerful magnets is a new superconducting material used for the first time in a particle accelerator.

The most recent P5 report suggests funding support for research at Argonne and Fermilab, showing Chicagoland as a hub for the future of particle physics. The report recommended exploring the possibility of building a revolutionary new particle collider at Fermilab, more powerful than the LHC, and reinforced support of the Fermilab led DUNE project.

Fermilab’s MINERvA experiment was chosen as one of the nine runners up as part of the Physics World 2023 Breakthrough of the Year. The MINERvA research shows how information about the internal structure of the proton can be gleaned from neutrinos scattering from a plastic target.

The recent report published by the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel highlights the important role that Sanford Underground Research Facility plays in the advancement of U.S. particles physics and its support of the DUNE project. The P5 report recommends continued support for DUNE and funding for expansion of research space at SURF that will enable the U.S. to be an international host for neutrino and dark matter experiments.

Physics World assembled a special report on quantum physics and how big science is linking large-scale facilities with universities, government labs and tech firms. Flip through the pages of this special issue featuring the SQMS Quantum Lab on the cover and an interview with SQMS Director, Anna Grassellino.

The ATLAS collaboration recently measured the strength of the strong force to a record level of precision, but there’s still long way to go toward understanding this fundamental force.
