Researchers at the Illinois Accelerator Research Center at Fermilab have developed powerful, compact, and mobile electron accelerators powered by SRF technologies. A compact SRF accelerator
is a cost-effective, compact version that will enable novel applications.

Fermilab and Stanford University researchers have developed XCOM, a novel network designed to synchronize quantum instrumentation and facilitate low-latency communication.

A new network architecture from Fermilab targets a key challenge in scaling quantum computing systems: low-latency, predictable communication across control hardware. The XCOM system connects multiple QICK boards in a mesh network, enabling synchronized operation and deterministic communication between distributed control electronics.

Rice University recently hosted an international workshop focused on integrating cutting-edge AI and ML technologies for the DUNE project led by Fermilab. Rice’s BioScience Research Collaborative collaborators to tackle the monumental computational challenges posed by DUNE and to strategize on leveraging AI’s transformative capabilities within the field of particle physics.

New Civil Engineer speaks with Fermilab about the planning that occurred over the course of most of a decade to excavate and construct the enormous caverns for LBNF/DUNE.

The SuperCDMS collaboration has reached a critical milestone of cooling to its operating temperature, allowing scientists to begin calibrating the experiment’s detectors to prepare for the first search for dark matter. A team from Fermilab helped calibrate detectors for the world’s most sensitive search yet.

Scientists from South Dakota Mines served as the lead institution for MircoBooNE’s milestone measurement. The Mines research team relied on the MicroBooNE detector’s ultra-high-resolution imaging, which enables scientists to see particle tracks with millimeter precision.

The NEXUS research team at Fermilab recently repeated the 2019 experiment after removing cosmic interference, find quantum information disturbed by other ways. This is the first time scientists have measured charge noise in a chip consisting of multiple qubits.

Fermilab researchers have successfully accelerated and stored the first proton beams inside a specialized accelerator test facility, paving the way for more powerful particle colliders.

Fermilab’s new director Norbert Holtkamp returns to the lab with a clear mandate: deliver DUNE, honour the laboratory’s legacy of bold leadership and reaffirm big science’s responsibility to society.
