The world will soon be celebrating the hunt for the universe’s most elusive matter in a series of Dark Matter Day events planned in over a dozen countries.

Researchers from Caltech and the University of Southern California report the first application of quantum computing to a physics problem. By employing quantum-compatible machine learning techniques, they developed a method of extracting a rare Higgs boson signal from copious noise data.

A type of electron lens developed at Fermilab lends itself to future collider applications.

As you walk down the stairs from the main floor of Wilson Hall to the auditorium vestibule, look up to the near edge of the wood block ceiling.

For the first time, experiments have seen both light and gravitational waves released by a single celestial crash.

A team of scientists using the Dark Energy Camera was among the first to observe the fiery aftermath of a recently detected burst of gravitational waves, recording images of the first confirmed explosion from two colliding neutron stars ever seen by astronomers.

Lund has been a professor at MSU since 2014 and currently serves on both the Director’s Advisory Council and the Curriculum Committee for the USPAS, working with Director Barletta to coordinate school programs in the community interest.

It was 1972, and the Meson Lab was just working on its first beam transport. As I sat and fiddled with the MAC-16 control computer to see what it would do, I looked up to see a gentleman walking towards me wearing a beret and wearing a top coat.

Scientists Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish won the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics for their roles in creating the LIGO experiment.

Fermilab directors receive formal recognition for their pioneering science, an important groundbreaking takes place, and a new education program takes off in October.
