The ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations received the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on behalf of the CMS Collaboration on April 5, 2025.

The CMS collaboration has observed an unexpected feature in data produced by the LHC which could point to the existence of the smallest composite particle yet observed.

To address the lingering questions of the Standard Model of Physics, particle physicists have been planning the next-generation colliders. Fermilab could be the site of a future muon collider, but future colliders will be the efforts of the international physics community.

Sowjanya Gollapinni has been elected as the new co-spokesperson for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, succeeding Mary Bishai. Gollapinni is a senior scientist and the Neutrino Group Leader at Los Alamos National Laboratory and has been involved with DUNE since 2015. Now, she will co-lead the project to its next stages of development.

Fermilab and Diraq announced a multi-institution collaboration to develop a novel quantum sensor platform for high-energy physics named Quandarum.

New data from the NOvA experiment at Fermilab in the US contain no evidence for so-called “sterile” neutrinos, in line with results from most – though not all – other neutrino detectors to date.

Discover magazine interviews Dr. Robert Wilson, one of the founding members of DUNE, about the goals of DUNE in studying the behavior of neutrinos.

Fermilab is finalizing a partnership with Diraq and several universities for the Quandarum project. The project team intends to combine extreme environment electronics and silicon spin qubits to develop a quantum sensor that could profoundly impact the field of high-energy physics.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument used millions of galaxies and quasars to build the largest 3D map of our universe to date. Combining the DESI data with other experiments shows signs that the impact of dark energy may be weakening over time — and the standard model of how the universe works may need an update.

A new data release from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is now available for researchers to explore. The collection contains information on 18.7 million galaxies, quasars, and stars — the largest dataset of its kind ever shared.
