The experiment demonstrated the power of liquid-argon time projection chamber technology for neutrino research, and to date, the collaboration has published more than 80 scientific papers, helping lay the foundation for Fermilab’s neutrino research program.

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.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab recently to see firsthand how the lab is advancing American leadership in fundamental science, artificial intelligence and quantum research. During his tour, he explored cutting-edge projects and praised Fermilab’s commitment to understanding the structure of the universe.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab recently to see how the lab is driving American leadership in fundamental sciences and discovery, including in cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence. His tour included one of the laboratory’s five particle accelerators, and the Secretary learned more about Fermilab’s flagship project, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the first direct evidence for tau neutrinos. The particles remain elusive to this day, but physicists continue to seek new ways of studying them.

The third and final result, based on the last three years of data, is in perfect agreement with the experiment’s previous results, further solidifying the experimental world average. This long-awaited value will be the world’s most precise measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly for many years to come.

Fermilab Distinguished Scientist Patricia McBride was invited to Santa Monica, California to accept the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on behalf of the CMS collaboration.

A key milestone in the U.S.-funded upgrade to the CMS experiment was achieved with the successful delivery of a 5-meter-long carbon support tube to CERN. Designed and built at Purdue University, the tube will house new inner particle detectors for CMS, which is being prepared for the high-luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider. The CMS collaboration is composed of scientists from roughly 240 institutions spread across more than 50 countries.
