Researchers at Fermilab use electron beams to eradicate forever chemicals in water January 29, 2024 Researchers at Fermilab have demonstrated that particle accelerator technology can be used to destroy chemicals known as PFAS, which cannot be broken down effectively by other known methods.
CMS scientists expand search for new particles at the Large Hadron Collider January 25, 2024 One of the big, recent innovations by the CMS collaboration—a new trigger installed in their experiment at the Large Hadron Collider—has produced its first data set. The analysis of this data has started. Scientists expect it will either reveal new physics or set more stringent limits in the search for long-lived particles.
Innovative MAGIS-100 quantum experiment at Fermilab bolstered by support from U.K. January 24, 2024 Fermilab signs international agreement with U.K. institutions to collaborate on building a 100-meter-long atom interferometry experiment. It will enable scientists to demonstrate the superposition of atoms and advance the search for ultralight dark-matter particles.
Fermilab’s Wilson Hall open to the public January 23, 2024 Fermilab welcomes the public back to Wilson Hall beginning January 23, to visit designated areas Monday through Friday.
From Director Lia Merminga: Updates to Fermilab’s Batavia site access January 23, 2024 Please read a message from the Fermilab director on visiting the lab’s campus.
Bringing compact particle accelerators to industry January 22, 2024 Scientists at Fermilab have received funding from the DOE Office of Technology Transitions and the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management to develop devices that generate particles to be accelerated in compact accelerators. The final result could be a machine for metal 3D printing and other applications.
PIP-II team successfully transports first cryomodule between U.K. and Fermilab January 22, 2024 The United Kingdom will contribute superconducting cryomodules to Fermilab’s new particle accelerator. Collaborators shipped a fully equipped, 27,500-pound prototype from Fermilab to the U.K. and back to test the logistics.
