Fermilab features

The Fermilab senior scientist brings a wealth of scientific leadership experience to her new role as the collaboration prepares for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider.

The American Physical Society has honored researchers at Fermilab for their outstanding contributions to physics. These recognitions include major APS prizes and fellowships, underscoring the laboratory’s leadership in advancing scientific discovery.

Fermi Forward Discovery Group’s annual guest artist and composer program fosters creative collaborations that help translate Fermilab’s complex scientific research into accessible, engaging experiences. In 2026, visual artist Eleftheria Lialios and composer Isaac Smith will bring their distinct perspectives to transform particle physics data into immersive visual and auditory works for the public.

Researchers at Fermilab moved the final subdetector for 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.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building the largest underground cryogenic system ever attempted to support its massive liquid-argon detectors.

A signing ceremony held at Fermilab opened the next stage of cooperation for design, manufacturing and testing of cryogenic subsystems for DUNE’s neutrino detector modules in Lead, South Dakota.

Fermilab researchers have provided expertise and leadership in developing an open-source framework that enables the design of hardware capable of making split-second decisions. These advances aim to prioritize the enormous volumes of data produced by some of humanity’s most ambitious physics experiments.

Deep inside a converted gold mine in South Dakota, researchers are tackling a colossal engineering challenge — building massive, super-cooled containers to hold liquid argon for a flagship physics experiment hosted by Fermilab for the international DUNE collaboration.

Construction of a laser laboratory that will house state-of-the-art lasers necessary to run the experiment’s 100-meter atom interferometer is complete. This is an important step in building a quantum sensing device capable of seeing tiniest of signals emanating from the farthest reaches of the universe to discover new physics phenomena.

Magnetic resonance imaging, commonly known as MRI, is a cornerstone of modern medical diagnostics. Now, a collaboration from Fermilab and NYU Langone Health, both partners in the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center, takes this technology a step further with Quantitative MRI.
