Members of Congress congratulate Fermilab and Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility collaborators on near-site groundbreaking

On Nov. 14, Fermilab held a ceremony to break ground on a new beamline for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility. Members of U.S. Congress from Illinois sent their congratulations to Fermilab, LBNF/DUNE collaborators and the Department of Energy via short video messages. View the three videos.

DOE awards Fermilab and partners $3.2 million for Illinois quantum network

Researchers are wielding quantum physics, technologies and expertise to develop a proposed Illinois Express Quantum Network, which would stretch between Fermilab and Northwestern University’s Evanston and Chicago campuses. The metropolitan-scale, quantum-classical hybrid design combines quantum technologies with existing classical networks to create a multinode system for multiple users.

Department of Energy awards Fermilab funding for next-generation dark matter research

In their ongoing search for the mysterious dark matter that makes up 85% of our universe, the particle physics community turns its sights to particles of low mass. The Department of Energy announced that it is providing funding for two Fermilab initiatives to develop experimental designs for experiments that will be highly sensitive to the smallest particles of dark matter. Following the development of the experimental designs, the next phase of funding will be subject to additional reviews and approval.
