Argonne and Fermilab were granted the funding as part of ARPA-E’s Nuclear Energy Waste Transmutation Optimized Now program to design a compact, cost-effective accelerator that can transmute long-lived nuclear waste into safer material.

The SQMS Center is working on reproducible and scalable realization of highly coherent superconducting qubits to open the way to more complex and scalable quantum computing operations. These capabilities could be used in Fermilab’s core particle physics research and fundamental physics more generally over time.

Muon g-2 collaborator describes the latest precision of the muon measurement to an an 11,000-pound elephant standing on a bathroom scale. The scale is so precise, it can measure if a couple of sunflower seeds are placed on the elephant’s back.

Final results from the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment was announced on June 3, showing a tiny particle continues to act strangely — but that’s still good news for the laws of physics as we know them.

The deviant behavior of a tiny particle called the muon might point to undiscovered forms of matter and energy in the universe. Or it might not.

Cristian Boffo, Project Director of Fermilab’s PIP-II project, discusses the progress made so far in the major upgrade to Fermilab’s accelerator complex and what this means for future discovery.

LSA Magazine spoke with associate scientist Bryan Ramson about neutrinos, which play a fundamental role in unlocking the mysteries of the universe.

The former U.S. Steel plant is planned to be developed into a quantum research park named South Works. Fermilab’s Ben Hansen, director of the cryogenic technology division, talks about developing the cryogenic resources.

An international team led by Fermilab’s Cristián Peña created a new photon detector that can be used in quantum networking and computing, space-to-ground communication, exoplanet exploration and fundamental probes for new physics such as dark matter.

The BBC covers how the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment will study the change in neutrinos and anti-neutrinos as they travel 800-miles from Fermilab in Illinois to SURF in South Dakota.
