Even experiments that aren’t looking for dark matter directly, such as Muon g-2, could give us hints about the mysterious substance that permeates our universe.

DOE recognizes Fermilab building with award for energy efficiency

Fermilab has received the Building Envelope Campaign Award for the Industrial Center Building Addition’s energy-efficient design of windows, exterior walls and roofs. Fermilab is one of 14 awardees selected by the DOE.

Rutgers joins 19 other contributing partners, representing national labs, academia and industry, to conduct SQMS research activities.

Teaching a particle detector new tricks

Scientists from Fermilab and other institutions hoping to find new, long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider recently realized, with CMS, they may already have the detector to do it.

URA names John Mester next executive director and chief executive officer

The physicist succeeds Marta Cehelsky, who has been at the helm of the Universities Research Association since 2011.

The Cryogenic Society of America has awarded Benjamin Hansen its Award for Excellence in Cryogenic Operations and Support. Head of Fermilab’s Cryogenics Operations Department, he received the award for his leadership maintaining and operating six helium cryogenic test facilities.

CERN to provide second DUNE cryostat

CERN deepens its collaboration with the US-based neutrino experiment with the provision of two enormous stainless-steel vessels for DUNE’s cutting-edge liquid-argon detectors.

The search for the sterile neutrino

Back when it was theorized, scientists weren’t sure they would ever detect the neutrino. Now scientists, including some at Fermilab, are searching for a version of the particle that could be even more elusive.

National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy visits Fermilab to highlight climate change, clean energy in the Midwest

Group of masked people in business attire walk through a high-ceiling building.

The country’s first National Climate Advisor in charge of climate change and environmental policies, Gina McCarthy, visited Fermilab with Reps. Sean Casten and Lauren Underwood. Their tour was to highlight the importance of climate change and clean energy in the Midwest, with a focus on job creation, public health and economic opportunity.

Pedro Machado wins 2021 URA Early Career Award
