Scientists inside and outside of particle physics and astrophysics are leaning on AI for assistance with complex tasks.

Greg Stephens officially began his role as chief operating officer at Fermilab bringing more than 35 years of experience in commercial, academic, international and U.S. government operations to Fermilab.

A team from Northern Illinois University isy part of the 1,400 scientists and engineers working on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. In the coming year, they will be responsible for making 300 to 400 of the photon detection modules that will be part of the much larger web of thousands of such modules at the underground Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility in South Dakota.

Researchers led by Fermilab and the University of Chicago have developed a novel new detector, the Broadband Reflector Experiment for Axion Detection, designed to look for dark matter in the form of particles known as axions and dark photons.

Six members of the University of Chicago faculty have been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious honorary societies. Included in this year’s selection is Fermilab’s Chief Research Officer, Bonnie Fleming.

Two American bison were born Friday at Fermilab— the first of about 20 bison expected to be born this spring in a 30-acre pasture at the laboratory.

For more than 20 years in experimental particle physics and astrophysics, machine learning has been accelerating the pace of science, helping scientists tackle problems of greater and greater complexity.

Don’t know your convolutional neural networks from your boosted decision trees? Symmetry is here to help.

Here’s what recent DESI measurements suggest — and why it’s too early to update conventional predictions about the Universe’s distant future.

How are cosmology and particle physics connected? Observing the motions of stars and galaxies can reveal the influence of as-yet-undiscovered particles, while studying fundamental particles in the lab can tell us about the birth and evolution of the cosmos.
