Press releases

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will look for a never-before-seen subatomic phenomenon that, if observed, would transform our understanding of elementary particles: the direct conversion of a muon into an electron. An international collaboration of over 200 scientists is building the Mu2e precision particle detector that will hunt for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

The career of Elaine McCluskey, who most recently served as project manager constructing the future facility for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, has had a lasting impact.

Toups now co-leads the precision neutrino experiment through its analysis phase, along with Justin Evans of the University of Manchester.

Fermilab’s Sandra Nelson talks of her love of math, tennis tournaments and jazz music.

An array of virtual events brought Fermilab physics to more than 12,000 participants in 35 countries. The 2022 Fermilab Family Open House included tours, talks, demos, classroom visits and more.

Starting in September, McBride will lead one of the largest scientific collaborations in history.

The two Fermilab scientists were recognized for distinguished contributions to the field of physics: experimental particle physics and accelerator physics, respectively.

Martel Walls shares how he loves working with his hands and learning on the job.

The Standard Model is one of the most well-tested theories in particle physics. But scientists are searching for new physics beyond it.

Scientists at the Fermilab-led SQMS Center investigate qubits at the atomic level to identify sources of various impurities. By having a deeper understanding of how impurities affect how long a qubit can store information, scientists will be able to figure out how to further improve the performance of quantum computers.
