The Dark Energy Survey has measured the BAO scale when the universe was half its present age with an accuracy of 2%, the most accurate determination yet at such an early epoch. It is the first time an imaging-only measurement is competitive with large spectroscopy campaigns specifically designed to detect this signal.

Researchers at Fermilab, in collaboration with 3M, have successfully demonstrated that an electron beam can destroy the two most common types of PFAS in water. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances are commonly known as PFAS and often called forever chemicals. The new research shows an electron beam can destroy the forever chemicals quickly, enabling a large volume of water to be treated in the same amount of time as some other methods.
