The Underground Construction Association awarded the LBNF project the 2026 Project of the Year award to the teams who removed over 800,000 tons of rock from this extreme depth.

The first cinnamon-colored baby bison was born at Fermilab on April 21. The new calf is healthy and the calf is staying close to its mother as it takes its first steps on the open grassland.

The first bouncing baby bison of the spring season arrived Tuesday morning at Fermilab.

On April 18, the winners of some of the most lucrative prizes in science, were announced at the Breakthrough Prize ceremony. The Muon g-2 collaboration won the award in Fundamental Physics for the most precise measurement of the muon to date.

IFL Science talks with Chris Polly about the Muon g-2 collaboration’s precise measurement of the g-2 value honored with $3 million from the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.

Recently, scientists have determined the mass of the W boson by analyzing more than 1 billion proton-colliding events produced by the LHC at CERN. The precision of the new measurement is on par with a previous measurement made in 2022 by the CDF at Fermilab.

The LBNF/DUNE project hosted by Fermilab has been named the Underground Construction Association’s 2026 Project of the Year.

In recognition of World Quantum Day, Fermilab’s Sara Sussman writes about the first benchmark from NEXUS qubit data. The new data has enabled the training of NVIDIA Ising Calibration, a vision language model for automating the calibration of quantum processors.

A 2022 measurement of the W boson’s mass by the CDF experiment at the Fermilab, while the most precise measurement, differed from the Standard Model prediction. Now, a new calculation of the W boson particle by the CMS collaboration agrees with the Standard Model.

A team of researchers from Fermilab, University of Chicago, Stanford University, and New York University
have developed an electronically-tunable quantum detector that significantly speeds up the search for dark photons, a leading candidate for dark matter.
