From U.S. News and World Report, April 24, 2021: A team of University of Kentucky professors were part of a large-scale physics experiment at Fermilab showing results that point to a potential gap in the Standard Model of physics.

On July 19, 2013, the Muon g-2 magnet ring was moving up the Illinois River on its five-week journey from Brookhaven National Laboratory (Long Island, New York) to Fermilab. Scientists will announce the first results from the Muon g-2 experiments at 10 a.m. CDT on April 7, 2021. Muon G-2, Brookhaven National Laboratory Photo: Reidar Hahn, Fermilab

On July 19, 2013, the Muon g-2 magnet ring was moving up the Illinois River on its way from Brookhaven National Laboratory to Fermilab. It arrived in Lemont, Illinois, on July 21, 2013. Scientists will announce the first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at 10 a.m. CDT on April 7, 2021.

In February 2021, senior operations specialist Humberto “Bert” Gonzalez and technical specialist Gary Teafoe work with the STAR detector.

The U.S. Department of Energy has given the U.S. High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider Accelerator Upgrade Project approval to move full-speed-ahead in building and delivering components for the HL-LHC, specifically, cutting-edge magnets and accelerator cavities that will enable more rapid-fire collisions at the collider. The collider upgrades will allow physicists to study particles such as the Higgs boson in greater detail and reveal rare new physics phenomena. The U.S. collaborators on the project may now move into production mode.

From Inside Science, Nov. 12, 2020: A recent experiment has created a one-way quantum network between two labs, reaching a milestone on the path to creating a quantum internet. Fermilab Deputy Director Joe Lykken weighs in.
