Researchers at Fermilab and Northwestern University invented a new method aimed to explore new technologies that can revolutionize the design and manufacturing of superconducting undulators through the introduction of high-temperature superconductors and 3D printing. Fermilab’s Cristian Boffo co-authored on the paper received LDRD funding for this research.

The first two baby bison were born April 21 at Fermilab, welcoming the start of spring.

The MUonE experiment at CERN could search for dark matter particles in addition to studying the muon’s magnetic moment.

The discovery of the Higgs boson announced on July 4, 2012 by teams working at the ATLAS and CMS confirmed the theoretical framework proposed in the 1960s by Peter Higgs and others.

The SpringBoard Summer Series offered by KidsMatter and key community partners is expanding this year with the introduction of a new Physical & Life Sciences program at Fermilab. The Series offers free classwork and field experiences in a variety of popular career sectors to high school students.

Fermilab Distinguished Scientist Patricia McBride was invited to Santa Monica, California to accept the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on behalf of the CMS collaboration.

The Cern Courier explores the experimental results and theoretical calculations used to predict ‘muon g-2’ – one of particle physics’ most precisely known quantities and the subject of a fast-evolving anomaly.

The ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations received the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on behalf of the CMS Collaboration on April 5, 2025.

The CMS collaboration has observed an unexpected feature in data produced by the LHC which could point to the existence of the smallest composite particle yet observed.

To address the lingering questions of the Standard Model of Physics, particle physicists have been planning the next-generation colliders. Fermilab could be the site of a future muon collider, but future colliders will be the efforts of the international physics community.
