‘Squeezed light’ technology could accelerate path to quantum networking
Scientists at Fermilab and Caltech have demonstrated the feasibility of their method of using squeezed light to dramatically increase the rate at which quantum networks can generate entangled particle pairs over long distances. This advance addresses a critical bottleneck in building large-scale quantum networks.
Why choose liquid argon for DUNE detectors?
In its quest to understand why matter exists, the flagship neutrino experiment hosted by Fermilab is constructing an enormous next-generation liquid-argon-based detector a mile underground. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building on the successes of previous liquid-argon experiments, promising measurements of unprecedented precision over a wide range of energies that will bring significant new insights into the nature of the universe.

Prototype cassettes mark key step toward new CMS high-granularity calorimeter
CMS scientists recently formed the first prototype “cassette” for the new endcap calorimeters which will be the largest silicon-based detectors ever built when complete. This technology will increase in the number of particles that the HL-LHC will deliver and result in 4 to 5 times more simultaneous particle collisions than occur with the existing LHC.
