The Proton Improvement Plan II, or PIP-II, is a proposed project to improve Fermilab’s particle accelerator complex with a major hardware overhaul and a powerful boost in its capabilities.
Physicists and engineers at Fermilab have patented a homegrown technology that could increase the lifetime of roads and decrease roadblocks and the billions of dollars currently spent on road repair.
This year, the NSF is awarding grants to fund research on the development of bright beams at the University of Chicago and Northern Illinois University at a level of $680,000 and $560,000, respectively, for a three-year period.
