The Genesis Mission is leveraging the strength of the U.S. Department of Energy’s 17 national laboratories, including Fermilab, alongside American research universities and industry partners. The collaborative effort aims to supercharge innovation by integrating the transformative power of artificial intelligence across the national research landscape.

The American Physical Society has honored researchers at Fermilab for their outstanding contributions to physics. These recognitions include major APS prizes and fellowships, underscoring the laboratory’s leadership in advancing scientific discovery.

In 2024, Fermilab made significant scientific progress, including advancing preparations for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and conducting groundbreaking quantum research. The laboratory also continued its strong international collaborations — including involvement with the CMS experiment at CERN — and made strides in developing emerging technologies with wide applications beyond physics.

The U.S. Department of Energy awarded Guillermo Fernandez Moroni $2.5 million over 5 years to fund his project developing sensors to study the early universe. His work could enable surveying tens of thousands of distant galaxies at a time.

The Siena Galaxy Atlas will be a tool for research into how galaxies form and evolve, gravitational waves, dark matter and the structure of our universe.

Astronomers are championing a relatively new technique as a method to understand the structure of the early universe in three dimensions.

Just because matter is visible doesn’t mean it’s easy to see.

LSST Camera images provide the inspiration for artist Lennart Lahuis’s “Astromelancholia.”

The powerful camera built for the Dark Energy Survey has taken more than 1 million photos from its perch in Chile. Here are some of the best.

In particle physics, “annihilation” is a transformation.
