IFL Science talks with Chris Polly about the Muon g-2 collaboration’s precise measurement of the g-2 value honored with $3 million from the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument has completed its originally planned five-year mission and mapped more than 47 million galaxies and quasars, creating the largest high-resolution 3D map of our universe to date. Because of the instrument’s excellent performance and hints that dark energy might evolve, DESI will continue observations into 2028 and further expand the map.

The milestone by ICARUS paves the way to probe sterile‑neutrino oscillations for the full Short-Baseline Neutrino Program at Fermilab. The first results demonstrate the data’s excellent quality and suitability for physics analyses, as well as the maturity of the software tools for event selection, fitting and detector simulation.

Recently, scientists have determined the mass of the W boson by analyzing more than 1 billion proton-colliding events produced by the LHC at CERN. The precision of the new measurement is on par with a previous measurement made in 2022 by the CDF at Fermilab.

The LBNF/DUNE project hosted by Fermilab has been named the Underground Construction Association’s 2026 Project of the Year.

In recognition of World Quantum Day, Fermilab’s Sara Sussman writes about the first benchmark from NEXUS qubit data. The new data has enabled the training of NVIDIA Ising Calibration, a vision language model for automating the calibration of quantum processors.

The largest neutrino experiment in the United States was named the Project of the Year by the Underground Construction Association for completing a significant and challenging underground construction project with little or no issues.

A 2022 measurement of the W boson’s mass by the CDF experiment at the Fermilab, while the most precise measurement, differed from the Standard Model prediction. Now, a new calculation of the W boson particle by the CMS collaboration agrees with the Standard Model.

A team of researchers from Fermilab, University of Chicago, Stanford University, and New York University
have developed an electronically-tunable quantum detector that significantly speeds up the search for dark photons, a leading candidate for dark matter.

Researchers at Argonne have successfully commissioned a “giant cage” detector capable of filtering out 99.99% of cosmic background noise for the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab.
