Fermilab and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in Germany have signed an agreement for a joint appointment to work on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

IOTA is designed to develop technologies to increase the number of particles in a beam without increasing the beam's size and thus the size and cost of the accelerator. IOTA researchers are investigating a novel technique called nonlinear integrable optics. The technique uses specially designed sets of magnets configured to prevent beam instabilities. The technique was a winner: Scientists observed that these specialized magnets significantly decreased the instability.

A team led by Fermilab has modeled a new method of using machine learning to analyze data from the Large Hadron Collider.

The first cryomodule of Fermilab's PIP-II superconducting accelerator has arrived from Argonne National Laboratory.

With a ceremony held today, the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory officially broke ground on a major new particle accelerator project that will power cutting-edge physics experiments for many decades to come.

After scanning in depth about a quarter of the southern skies for six years and cataloguing hundreds of millions of distant galaxies, the Dark Energy Survey (DES) finished taking data on Jan. 9.

The first prototype detector for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is taking data and producing extraordinary pictures of particle tracks.

The ProtoDUNE project is building two smaller-scale detectors as a test bed for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. But even these smaller detectors are enormous and complex.

On June 21, a prototype detector at CERN for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment recorded its first particle tracks. So begins the largest ever test of an extremely precise method for measuring elusive particles called neutrinos, which may hold the key to why our universe looks the way it does and how it came into being.

The University of Chicago is collaborating with the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory to launch an intellectual hub for advancing academic, industrial and governmental efforts in the science and engineering of quantum information.
