A partnership between Fermilab and xLight Inc. will focus on producing advanced semiconductors in the United States using extreme ultraviolet light and accelerator technology.
Researchers have used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to make the largest 3D map of our universe and world-leading measurements of dark energy, the mysterious cause of its accelerating expansion.
A new economic impact study shows the growing positive effects on economies in the U.S. through operations conducted by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. In Illinois and South Dakota, positive ripple effects from Fermilab spending contributed $1.6 billion in economic output during fiscal year 2022 and supported 7,242 jobs.
Fermilab’s 2024 Inventor Recognition Ceremony celebrated patents and ideas from Fermilab employees with notable guests. In 2023, 12 new patents were issued with 16 inventors associated with those patents working at Fermilab.
The funded research areas include state-of-the-art technologies for detecting dark matter; 3D integrated sensors to process tiny, ultrafast signals with high precision; and powerful, compact electron-beam accelerators for industrial use.
Fermilab researchers utilize their knowledge of state-of-the-art accelerator technologies to help tackle needs for the medical device sterilization industry and beyond.
New Mexico-based artist Agnes Chavez will work with scientists at Fermilab to explore new ways to use data visualization, light, sound and space to communicate the importance and relevance of science, in particular research on particles called neutrinos.
The Dark Energy Survey has measured the BAO scale when the universe was half its present age with an accuracy of 2%, the most accurate determination yet at such an early epoch. It is the first time an imaging-only measurement is competitive with large spectroscopy campaigns specifically designed to detect this signal.
Mischa Zupko, adjunct faculty member of the School of Music at DePaul University, will collaborate with scientists at Fermilab and members of the Chicago-based Civitas Ensemble to create music based on scientific models in particle science.
