U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announced that Fermilab’s Chris Polly was one of nine recipients of the prestigious Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award for exceptional contributions to research and development supporting the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) missions in science, energy and national security.
Fermilab’s long legacy of pioneering superconducting magnet technology is entering a new chapter with the launch of the MAGNet Environment Simulator. The test platform will support cutting-edge research aimed at enabling the powerful magnets needed for future fusion energy systems.
Two new awards will expand Fermilab’s critical role in the Genesis Mission by developing custom microelectronics and advancing quantum information science.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in physics to Francis Halzen of the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
A first-of-its-kind blinded materials characterization study spanning 22 superconducting quantum devices, seven characterization techniques and six leading institutions helps build the scientific foundations of scalable quantum computing.
Quantum computing is becoming a revolutionary tool for scientific discovery.
Fermilab is among the initial partners in Microsoft Quantum’s newly established quantum research center. Opening in the Discovery District, Maryland, the center will feature a quantum hardware makerspace, where researchers can develop new approaches to hands-on quantum training. As part of this effort, Fermilab will expand the capabilities of its Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK, an open-source quantum control and readout system, providing flexible new tools to the quantum community.
Tyler Barrett, Charis-Kleio Koraka, Kevin Kelly and Silvia Zorzetti are the recipients of the 2026 URA Honorary Awards. The awards are presented each year by Universities Research Association to recognize significant contributions to research at Fermilab.
Fermilab’s recent reorganization brings its accelerator, physics and technology programs under three unified directorates, each charged with advancing the laboratory’s most important scientific priorities. Together, these directorates form a coordinated leadership structure designed to deliver world class research and guide Fermilab’s future.
In a project selected for funding by the Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and partners from other national laboratories, universities and industry will apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to enable precise and adaptive resonance control in particle accelerators. Their work aims to lower operating costs by millions of dollars each year and improve accelerator performance, driving scientific discovery.
