Fermilab gets ready to upgrade accelerator complex for more powerful particle beams
…neutrino beams generated from particle accelerators to large, stories-high detectors. The greater the number of neutrinos sent to the detectors, the greater the chances the detectors will catch them, and…
New computing algorithms expand the boundaries of a quantum future
…a superposition of four possible states,” Shyamsundar said. The number of accessible states grows exponentially with the number of qubits used. Seems powerful, right? It’s a huge advantage when approaching…
Caltech and JPL launch hybrid high rate quantum communication systems
…and demonstrate both concepts, including a free-space, municipal quantum link between JPL and Caltech, in 2020-21. They will also establish a space-based quantum optical connection between the Caltech-JPL quantum network…
Scientists repurpose MRI magnet for new discoveries
…universities, and federal, state and municipal agencies to help them solve their specific problems, advance America’s scientific leadership and prepare the nation for a better future. With employees from more…
Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility pre-excavation work is in full swing
Unlocking the mysteries of neutrinos in order to get a clearer picture of the universe and understand why we are here at all, is a monumental undertaking. However, before the…
Excavation of huge caverns for DUNE particle detector is underway
Around a mile below the surface in South Dakota, construction crews are hard at work excavating around 1,000 tons of rock per day. Their goal is to make room for…
First major superconducting component for new high-power particle accelerator arrives at Fermilab
…After the beam leaves the PIP-II linac, it will continue down any of a number of paths, charging through Fermilab’s accelerators and eventually smashing into a block of material. The…
Crews create a blast to take the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment to the next stage
…of collaboration: While excavation takes place in South Dakota, DUNE partners around the globe are designing and building the parts for the DUNE detector.” A number of science experiments already…
The Milky Way’s satellites help reveal link between dark matter halos and galaxy formation
…by the naked eye from the Southern Hemisphere, but the number was thought to be around just a dozen or so until around the year 2000. Since then, the number…
