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.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a partnership between Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Qblox, under which Qblox will coordinate manufacturing, distribution and support for the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit (QICK) to advance U.S. quantum research and workforce development.

The SQMS Center enters a new era focused on scaling quantum systems from discovery to deployment — driving innovation in computation, communication and sensing.

Scientists at Fermilab and Caltech have demonstrated the feasibility of their method of using squeezed light to dramatically increase the rate at which quantum networks can generate entangled particle pairs over long distances. This advance addresses a critical bottleneck in building large-scale quantum networks.

In its quest to understand why matter exists, the flagship neutrino experiment hosted by Fermilab is constructing an enormous next-generation liquid-argon-based detector a mile underground. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building on the successes of previous liquid-argon experiments, promising measurements of unprecedented precision over a wide range of energies that will bring significant new insights into the nature of the universe.
