The agreement launches a multinational collaboration to build a powerful new accelerator at DOE’s Fermilab complex. Italy and its National Institute of Nuclear Physics will provide major contributions to the construction of the 176-meter-long superconducting particle accelerator that is the centerpiece of the PIP-II project.

During the last four years, LHC scientists have filled in gaps in our knowledge and tested the boundaries of the Standard Model. Since the start of Run II in March 2015, they’ve recorded an incredible amount of data —five times more than the LHC produced in Run I. The accelerator produced approximately 16 million billion proton-proton collisions — about one collision for every ant currently living on Earth.

Researchers demonstrate the cryogen-free operation of a superconducting radio-frequency cavity that might ease barriers to its use in societal applications.

1970s video footage recorded by musician Micky Dolenz when he visited the then-nascent Fermilab is now available on YouTube.

How do you calibrate a probe that is sealed inside a giant liquid-argon neutrino detector?

Predicted by Einstein and discovered in 1979, gravitational lensing helps astrophysicists understand the evolving shape of the universe.

Physicist Kira Burt dropped out of school at 16. Now she teaches students that anyone can be a scientist.

One of the core institutions that form the Chicago Quantum Exchange, Fermilab is at the cutting edge of quantum science, developing quantum sensors, communication systems and physics algorithms for science and society.

Quantum entanglement, doubted by Einstein, has passed increasingly stringent tests.

Collaboration is the first step in broad partnership between Fermilab, Argonne, University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
