The Proton Improvement Plan II, or PIP-II, is a proposed project to improve Fermilab’s particle accelerator complex with a major hardware overhaul and a powerful boost in its capabilities.

Fermilab’s popularity as a birding site is its diversity of species, a measure of the quality of the habitat. Birders have found 287 bird species at Fermilab.

Many physics degree programs excel at preparing students for an academic career, but more than half of those who complete the programs head to industry instead.

New technology and new thinking are pushing the dark matter hunt to lower and lower masses.

Members of Fermilab’s Technical Division recently achieved a record-high quality factor with a fully dressed cavity for a SLAC-headed project, Linac Coherent Light Source II.

Not only are we made of fundamental particles, we also produce them and are constantly bombarded by them throughout the day.

The MicroBooNE collaboration announced that it has seen its first neutrinos in the experiment’s newly built detector.

Physicists looked at gobs of data on planetary orbits to look for tiny anomalies that couldn’t be explained by either Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity — in which gravity is a force between objects that depends on their masses — or Einstein’s general relativity theory, which says gravity is a warping of space-time itself.
