Sudhir Malik reports on an initiative by the US CMS collaboration to increase opportunities for under-represented students in high-energy physics.

The unusually large Muon has threatened the Standard Model for decades, but new data parks the particle inside the confines of established physics. The BMW Collaboration’s recently posted research suggests the difference between the muon’s predicted anomalous magnetic moment and that predicted by the Standard Model is not as large as previous findings suggested.

NPR’s Short Wave host spoke with Fermilab Cosmologist Brian Nord about what dark energy could be and what it implies about the end of our universe.

Fermilab Cosmologist Alex Drlica-Wagner explains recent research charge-coupled devices placed on the SOAR telescope in Chile called Skipper CCDs. Skipper CCDs hold immense potential beyond observing the cosmos including medical imaging and radioisotope detection.

Scientists at Fermilab and University of Chicago used a superconducting qubit to prepare a microwave cavity in a special state to stimulate photons. They hope this technology will help detect the existence of dark matter.

A close collaboration of physicists, astronomers, and engineers, including Fermilab researchers, obtained the first astronomical spectrum using skipper charge-coupled devices using an instrument on the 4.1-meter Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope in Chile.

IBM plans to join Fermilab’s SQMS Center to further accelerate critical technologies and applications of superconducting quantum systems and expand quantum workforce development programs.

Xiao Luo, a professor at UC Santa Barbara, was acknowledged by the Sloan Foundation for her work on MicroBooNE, the Short Baseline Near Detector and DUNE.

Neutrino Day attracted thousands of people from throughout the country to participate in Lead’s annual science festival.

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics.
