Fermilab features
Fermilab News looks back at 10 ways Fermilab researchers advanced science and technology in 2019, from the physics of particles to the motion of the cosmos. This year brought us groundbreakings, breakthroughs, a world record and awards. Look back at 2019 in this year-end roundup.
What began as an experiment in a nine-ounce cup of water has been developed into a full-scale technology that recently became a finalist for a 2019 R&D 100 Award. Achieving the honor was E-MOP™ — electromagnetic oil spill remediation technology — developed from patents owned by Fermilab. The technology uses materials that are environmentally safe, reusable and natural.
