An engineer who works on Fermilab’s PIP-II project, Tiffany Price talks fluid systems and the ASPIRE Fellowship, as well as her West Highland Terrier.
Fermilab features
Scientists at the Fermilab-led SQMS Center investigate qubits at the atomic level to identify sources of various impurities. By having a deeper understanding of how impurities affect how long a qubit can store information, scientists will be able to figure out how to further improve the performance of quantum computers.
With the installation of the new bison cam, fans of the Fermilab herd and America’s national mammal can now watch the charismatic megafauna 24/7.
Ihar Lobach, a former student in the Fermilab Accelerator Ph.D. Program, is the recipient of the American Physical Society’s 2022 Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Research in Beam Physics Award. He was recognized for outstanding research contributions as well as for developing an experimental method.
Polish university will contribute cryogenic distribution system for the PIP-II project, an upgrade of Fermilab’s accelerator complex.
A recipient of this year’s IEEE PAST Award, Romanenko was cited “for outstanding contributions to science and technology of radio frequency superconductivity for particle accelerators.”
The AAS award recognizes Kron’s contributions to the astronomy community through his leadership of sky surveys, including the Dark Energy Survey and Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
Fermilab Director Nigel Lockyer has received one of the highest honors handed out by the United Kingdom. In her New Year’s honors list, the Queen of England named Lockyer Officer of the Order of the British Empire, one of the highest ranks in the nation’s order of chivalry.
For years, scientists have wondered how the observed afterglow of the Big Bang relates to the distribution of galaxies in our universe. Now, thanks to a new map of dark matter, they have direct evidence that a cold region in the afterglow coincides with the lack of matter in the same patch of the sky.
Researchers from more than 50 countries collaborate with Fermilab to develop state-of-the-art technologies and solve the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time. Take a look at 10 ways Fermilab and its partners advanced science and technology in 2021.
