The third and final result, based on the last three years of data, is in perfect agreement with the experiment’s previous results, further solidifying the experimental world average. This long-awaited value will be the world’s most precise measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly for many years to come.

The labs are developing a practical approach to reduce the size and cost of superconducting linear accelerators, which offer great potential for addressing used nuclear fuel, while also improving their reliability.

Fermilab has started accepting applications for a local photo contest this summer as part of a global contest. Photographers will be able to capture behind the science areas at Fermilab for a chance to be entered into the international competition this fall.

A collaboration of scientists tested next-generation superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) at Fermilab to further particle physics research.

Fermilab welcomed two baby bison today, marking the start of calving season at the Department of Energy’s particle physics laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. With 23 cows and two bulls in the herd, visitors can witness these iconic animals in their natural habitat, either in person or via the Fermilab bison camera.

Fermilab Distinguished Scientist Patricia McBride was invited to Santa Monica, California to accept the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on behalf of the CMS collaboration.

A Fermilab-led computing project received the second-largest award and was the largest particle physics project granted supercomputer time from the DOE Office of Science INCITE program. The project will continue to further explore numerical simulations to address questions in particle physics.

Sowjanya Gollapinni has been elected as the new co-spokesperson for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, succeeding Mary Bishai. Gollapinni is a senior scientist and the Neutrino Group Leader at Los Alamos National Laboratory and has been involved with DUNE since 2015. Now, she will co-lead the project to its next stages of development.

Fermilab is finalizing a partnership with Diraq and several universities for the Quandarum project. The project team intends to combine extreme environment electronics and silicon spin qubits to develop a quantum sensor that could profoundly impact the field of high-energy physics.

A new data release from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is now available for researchers to explore. The collection contains information on 18.7 million galaxies, quasars, and stars — the largest dataset of its kind ever shared.
