Science magazine highlights their top picks of significant science stories in 2025. Fermilab’s Muon g-2 announcement his year is included in this prestigious listing.

Norbert Holtkamp will take over as the new director of Batavia-based Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory starting Jan. 12.

Fermilab’s Silvia Zorzetti is the principal investigator on a multi-year DOE Early Career Award focused on high-efficiency quantum transduction across microwave and optical domains to interface superconducting quantum computing with photonic networks.

Northern Illinois University has joined the institutions advancing the frontiers of quantum information science through its new partnership in the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center, led by Fermilab.

A major step forward in the fight against persistent water pollution is underway in Illinois, where a national laboratory and a local engineering firm have joined forces to develop a next-generation water treatment system that eliminates harmful PFAS chemicals.

UChicago-affiliated laboratories each receive $125 million to advance next-generation quantum science and technology. Argonne and Fermilab are affiliated with the University of Chicago and share many University faculty and scientists.

Fermilab’s Muon g-2 collaboration has given its final word on the magnetic moment of the muon. Though the experimental measurement will likely now remain stable for several years, theorists expect to make rapid progress to reduce uncertainties and resolve tensions underlying the SM value.

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino.

Fermilab has dedicated the new Helen Edwards Engineering Research Center, its largest purpose-built lab and office facility honoring the pioneering accelerator physicist Dr. Helen Edwards.
