A collaboration of scientists tested next-generation superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) at Fermilab to further particle physics research.

Researchers at Northwestern University, with support from Fermilab have developed a groundbreaking method for 3D printing high-temperature superconductors. The research marks the first time ceramic superconductors have been 3D printed with a monocrystalline microstructure.

In a multi-year project led by engineers and scientists at Fermilab’s Illinois Accelerator Research Center, or IARC, Fermilab worked with Euclid Techlabs, to test a new slightly conductive ceramic for use in a key accelerator component called the radiofrequency window.

For more than two decades, a particle beam from Fermilab has been aimed at the NOvA experiment in Arrowhead, Minn. where researchers have been trying to understand neutrinos.

Brazil is a leading collaborator in the development of innovative technologies for the DUNE experiment. The State University of Campinas (Unicamp) is developing technologies for the liquid argon purification process and the X-Arapuca light detector.
