After 25 years of planning, six years of data collection and six more years of analysis, scientists have published a portion of the final results of the Dark Energy Survey — the largest, most comprehensive survey of its kind — yielding the tightest constraints to date on models of our universe’s expansion.

The NOvA experiment published some of the most precise neutrino oscillation measurements to date including the difference in mass between neutrinos of different flavors with a precision of 1.5%

The final superconducting magnet built in the U.S. for the high-luminosity upgrade to the LHC has left Berkeley Lab on its way to CERN for the first stage of its journey. The magnets are the result of over twenty years of dedicated R&D with contributions from Fermilab.

Fermilab moved the final subdetector for the Mu2e into the experiment hall, marking a major step forward for the collaboration. Once completed, Mu2e will search for a rare muon conversion that may unlock evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model.

Distinguished Scientist Fellow Mary Bishai shares her reflections on a career investigating the mysterious particles called neutrinos.

To fill the world’s largest cryogenic particle detector, Fermilab scientists will require roughly 1,000 truckloads of liquid argon.

CMS scientists recently formed the first prototype “cassette” for the new endcap calorimeters which will be the largest silicon-based detectors ever built when complete. This technology will increase in the number of particles that the HL-LHC will deliver and result in 4 to 5 times more simultaneous particle collisions than occur with the existing LHC.

Dark Energy Survey researchers have published their most comprehensive results to date of the Universe’s expansion over the past six billion years in Physical Research D.

Help Net Security interviewed Matthew Kwiatkowski, CISO at Fermilab, on cybersecurity blind spots and how security teams protect complex, legacy-driven research infrastructure while supporting scientific progress.
