The Genesis Mission is leveraging the strength of the U.S. Department of Energy’s 17 national laboratories, including Fermilab, alongside American research universities and industry partners. The collaborative effort aims to supercharge innovation by integrating the transformative power of artificial intelligence across the national research landscape.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment collaboration announced that a new spokesperson was elected to co-lead the largest neutrino experiment in the U.S. DUNE is at a pivotal time in the development of the massive far detectors and the build-out of the underground space in South Dakota.

Fermilab has contributed vital components to the SuperCDMS experiment, located deep underground in a nickel mine outside of Sudbury, Canada.

During an event at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., officials honored the successful collaboration between the United States and United Kingdom for building the PIP-II particle accelerator at Fermilab. The powerful new accelerator will be used to send a beam of neutrinos through the Earth for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

The intensive program trains the next generation of researchers in advanced particle physics, data analysis and agentic artificial intelligence.

In a pioneering study at an underground laboratory at Fermilab, scientists measured bursts of charge across multiple superconducting qubits. Their work advances understanding of how background noise impacts qubits while contributing to the development of more precise sensors to discover new physics phenomena and more fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Fermilab’s FAST/IOTA accelerator test facility has successfully accelerated and stored its first proton beams, marking a major milestone in the lab’s R&D program for next-generation particle accelerator technology. This achievement paves the way for breakthroughs in high-intensity beam physics, artificial intelligence applications and innovations that will power future experiments like the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Meet Maria Barba, a cryogenic engineer at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory whose work helps keep systems that support the testing of critical particle accelerator components running smoothly.

Scientists are continuing a groundbreaking study of superconducting microwire single photon detectors, or SMSPDs. These ultrasensitive devices show great promise for particle physics research of the future.

A partnership between the Quantum Science Center and the Quantum Systems Accelerator, two U.S. Department of Energy national quantum information science research centers, has enabled a breakthrough by Fermilab and MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Researchers used cryoelectronics to control ion traps, a key step toward realizing scalable quantum computers.
