Press releases

Today is the official start of spring at Fermilab, with the arrival of the first bison calf to the lab’s beloved American bison herd.

The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab received the prestigious Breakthrough Prize in fundamental physics for its precision measurement of the muon.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument has completed its originally planned five-year mission and mapped more than 47 million galaxies and quasars, creating the largest high-resolution 3D map of our universe to date. Because of the instrument’s excellent performance and hints that dark energy might evolve, DESI will continue observations into 2028 and further expand the map.

The milestone by ICARUS paves the way to probe sterile‑neutrino oscillations for the full Short-Baseline Neutrino Program at Fermilab. The first results demonstrate the data’s excellent quality and suitability for physics analyses, as well as the maturity of the software tools for event selection, fitting and detector simulation.

The largest neutrino experiment in the United States was named the Project of the Year by the Underground Construction Association for completing a significant and challenging underground construction project with little or no issues.

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.

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.

Scientists at CERN have triggered the complex cooldown of a 95-meter-long test stand that reproduces the underground configuration of innovative technologies for the Large Hadron Collider’s high-luminosity upgrade.

The latest results combined weak lensing and galaxy clustering and incorporated four dark energy probes from a single experiment for the first time.

DOE’s Office of High Energy Physics has recommitted and significantly increased its investment in Fermilab’s VALOR program. The military veterans’ job program was awarded $8 million over the next five years, demonstrating DOE and Fermilab’s commitment to workforce development for U.S. veterans.
