Ultra-cold labs and cryogenic systems are essential tools for quantum innovation, training, and discovery. The region’s expanding capacity will boost startups and create new jobs.

The Dark Energy Camera, designed specifically for the Dark Energy Survey and built and tested at Fermilab, captured an image assembled from a total of 28 hours of observations. The image gives a tantalizing hint of how intracluster light will be revealed by the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time.

As Italy launches its Quantum Plan, Il Giornale speaks with Fermilab’s Anna Grassellino pushing the quantum revolution forward in the U.S.

Physics World weekly podcast speaks with Michael Albrow, scientist emeritus at Fermilab, about how he continues work in science through the arts.

Tara Shears, a physics professor from the University of Liverpool, discusses
what AI can do for physics and what physics can do for AI.

A team of researchers, including scientists from SQMS and Fermilab, are investigating superconducting qubits to extend the computational power of quantum computers. This research could provide vital insights for designing more stable and powerful quantum processors.

SURF’s 2025 Davis-Bahcall Scholar Program recently wrapped up the 28-day program this summer for eight STEM students. The program is a four week tour of science facilities in the U.S. and London, including a stop at Fermilab.

Physicist John Peoples Jr. was the third-ever director of Fermilab, and in his 10 years in charge oversaw efforts to boost the power of the Tevatron, a circular particle accelerator that in 1995 contributed to the discovery of the top quark, the largest of all observed elementary particles.

A new study published in the journal PRX Quantum demonstrates how a network of quantum computers employing optical clocks can probe gravitational effects on quantum systems.

In 2022, the Yerkes (pronounced YER-keys) was opened to visitors as the Foundation began an ongoing 10-year project to fully renovate and update the building and its facilities, all while offering tours and special events devoted to raising awareness about the project and to maintaining the Yerkes’ standing as a destination for astronomical and astrophysical study.
