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.

Zorzetti’s research aims to help preserve quantum information by focusing on improvements to the way we transport it. The award provides $2.5 million over the next five years to support her work.

The U.S. Department of Energy has given the green light for the U.S.-funded portion of the upgrades to the CMS experiment at CERN. The massive overhaul will prepare the experiment for the high-luminosity era of particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.

The excavation of the caverns that will house the gigantic particle detectors of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment in Lead, South Dakota is complete. Final outfitting of the colossal caverns will begin soon and make way for the start of the installation of the DUNE detectors later this year.

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.

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.

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 welcomes the public back to Wilson Hall beginning January 23, to visit designated areas Monday through Friday.

Please read a message from the Fermilab director on visiting the lab’s campus.

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.
