Lawrence Berkeley National Lab has passed the startup operations phase and delivered first results of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector.
10 years later, Higgs boson discoverers publish refined measurements
In new papers by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations, physicists detail high-precision results from their latest Higgs boson studies.
Four things physicists still wonder about the Higgs boson
Scientists have learned a lot about the Higgs boson in the decade since they discovered it. But intriguing questions remain.
Quantum network between two national labs achieves record synch
Quantum collaboration demonstrates in Chicagoland the first steps toward functional long-distance quantum networks over deployed telecom fiber optics, opening the door to scalable quantum computing.
NIU students lend their engineering skills to PIP-II
Senior engineering students designed a portable cleanroom and a modular cryomodule mockup for Fermilab’s new accelerator complex upgrade project.
A minute with Abhishek Pathak, PIP-II postdoctoral researcher

What’s up with the W boson mass?
The CDF experiment at Fermilab measured the mass of the W boson and came up with an answer that no one expected.
Astronomers reveal first image of the black hole at the heart of our galaxy
Astronomers have unveiled the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. This result provides overwhelming evidence that the object is indeed a black hole and yields valuable clues about the workings of such giants, which are thought to reside at the center of most galaxies.
