Fermilab features

The award-winning, state-of-the-art research facility is now officially ready to host scientific exploration, collaboration and innovation.

After twenty years of research, development, testing and production, the United States is now shipping state-of-the-art superconducting accelerator magnets to CERN for the high-luminosity upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider. At the heart of these powerful magnets is a new superconducting material used for the first time in a particle accelerator.

Firefighters from across the region came to Fermilab this fall to train how to battle wildland fires. The training also had a positive impact on the lab’s ecology.

The popular public educational event showcased Fermilab science and natural areas.

The U.S. Department of Energy awarded Guillermo Fernandez Moroni $2.5 million over 5 years to fund his project developing sensors to study the early universe. His work could enable surveying tens of thousands of distant galaxies at a time.

Scientists working on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are preparing for the first test of a prototype detector in a neutrino beam.

The Fermilab-hosted SQMS Center achieved a significant milestone with the opening of one of the largest quantum research laboratories in the country. The lab hosts multiple experimental platforms at the forefront of quantum information science, technology and workforce development.

Lori Huntoon is the new environmental program manager at Fermilab. She recently discussed her new position, her goals for this program, and llamas.
