Fermilab has contributed vital components to the SuperCDMS experiment, located deep underground in a nickel mine outside of Sudbury, Canada.

During an event at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., officials honored the successful collaboration between the United States and United Kingdom for building the PIP-II particle accelerator at Fermilab. The powerful new accelerator will be used to send a beam of neutrinos through the Earth for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

The intensive program trains the next generation of researchers in advanced particle physics, data analysis and agentic artificial intelligence.

In a pioneering study at an underground laboratory at Fermilab, scientists measured bursts of charge across multiple superconducting qubits. Their work advances understanding of how background noise impacts qubits while contributing to the development of more precise sensors to discover new physics phenomena and more fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Fermilab’s FAST/IOTA accelerator test facility has successfully accelerated and stored its first proton beams, marking a major milestone in the lab’s R&D program for next-generation particle accelerator technology. This achievement paves the way for breakthroughs in high-intensity beam physics, artificial intelligence applications and innovations that will power future experiments like the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Meet Maria Barba, a cryogenic engineer at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory whose work helps keep systems that support the testing of critical particle accelerator components running smoothly.

Scientists are continuing a groundbreaking study of superconducting microwire single photon detectors, or SMSPDs. These ultrasensitive devices show great promise for particle physics research of the future.

The Fermilab senior scientist brings a wealth of scientific leadership experience to her new role as the collaboration prepares for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider.

The American Physical Society has honored researchers at Fermilab for their outstanding contributions to physics. These recognitions include major APS prizes and fellowships, underscoring the laboratory’s leadership in advancing scientific discovery.

Fermi Forward Discovery Group’s annual guest artist and composer program fosters creative collaborations that help translate Fermilab’s complex scientific research into accessible, engaging experiences. In 2026, visual artist Eleftheria Lialios and composer Isaac Smith will bring their distinct perspectives to transform particle physics data into immersive visual and auditory works for the public.
