SURF’s 2025 Davis-Bahcall Scholar Program recently wrapped up the 28-day program this summer for eight STEM students. The program is a four week tour of science facilities in the U.S. and London, including a stop at Fermilab.

Physicist John Peoples Jr. was the third-ever director of Fermilab, and in his 10 years in charge oversaw efforts to boost the power of the Tevatron, a circular particle accelerator that in 1995 contributed to the discovery of the top quark, the largest of all observed elementary particles.

HRL Laboratories developed an open-source extension to the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit developed at Fermilab. QICK was designed to control electrostatically confined semiconductor spin-qubits.

Fermilab’s Muon g-2 collaboration announced the final result on the magnetic moment of the muon. The new measurement agrees closely with a significantly revised Standard Model prediction.

The 17th annual Neutrino Day took place on July 12 in Lead, South Dakota. The festival is inspired by the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), an international project operated in part at SURF.

Fermilab participated in SURF’s annual Neutrino Day on July 12. Scientists and engineers from the lab participated in a livestream event from the underground caverns and spoke with visitors above ground about DUNE.

Fermilab will be participating in the 17th annual Neutrino Day in Lead, SD on July 12. The citywide science festival is free to all and will include a livestream underground tour of DUNE and a live with Fermilab crews.

John Peoples passed away on June 25, 2025. He was the third director of Fermilab, remembered as a prolific physicist and a hands-on leader.

South Dakota Public Broadcasting recently went underground in Lead, SD to learn about major projects at SURF. This includes Lux Zeppelin, CASPAR and DUNE.

Fermilab hosted its first quantum science education outreach program for Chicago high school students. The classes were taught by quantum scientists and subject matter experts to inspire the next generation of quantum researchers.
