The experiment demonstrated the power of liquid-argon time projection chamber technology for neutrino research, and to date, the collaboration has published more than 80 scientific papers, helping lay the foundation for Fermilab’s neutrino research program.

The Short-Baseline Near Detector has logged the largest sample of neutrino interactions in liquid argon in the world. Newly elected, Andrzej Szelc will co-lead SBND during the next phase of the experiment.

A new feasibility study for constructing machines that will enable further understanding of the Higgs boson and the exploration of the next energy frontier in particle physics was the focus of researchers participating in the U.S. Higgs Factory – Future Circular Collider Workshop.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab recently to see firsthand how the lab is advancing American leadership in fundamental science, artificial intelligence and quantum research. During his tour, he explored cutting-edge projects and praised Fermilab’s commitment to understanding the structure of the universe.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab recently to see how the lab is driving American leadership in fundamental sciences and discovery, including in cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence. His tour included one of the laboratory’s five particle accelerators, and the Secretary learned more about Fermilab’s flagship project, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Fermilab has started accepting applications for a local photo contest this summer as part of a global contest. Photographers will be able to capture behind the science areas at Fermilab for a chance to be entered into the international competition this fall.

Dr. Kevin J. Kelly, an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Texas A&M University and a former postdoc at Fermilab, has been selected as the 2025 recipient of the American Physical Society’s Henry Primakoff Award for Early-Career Particle Physics in recognition of his contributions and promising career potential in fundamental particle physics and cosmology.

SQMS Scientist Doğa Kürkçüoğlu, was able to pursue his passion for physics thanks to MIT professors and online resources and tools.

Chicago-based composer and pianist Mischa Zupko has been named 2024 guest composer at Fermilab. Zupko will draw inspiration from themes of the universe, cosmic phenomena, and mathematical models to create music interpreting particle physics.
