Argonne National Laboratory a partner in first accelerator program dedicated to quantum

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Business Announcement

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory is a founding partner of Duality, the first startup accelerator program in the nation that is dedicated to startup companies focused on quantum science and technology -- a rapidly emerging area that is poised to drive transformative advances across multiple industries.

First results from Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment strengthen evidence of new physics

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

The first results from the Muon g-2 experiment hosted at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. These results confirm an earlier experiment of the same name performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Combined, the two results show strong evidence that our best theoretical model of the subatomic world is incomplete. One potential explanation would be the existence of undiscovered particles or forces.

Caught in the act: New data about COVID-19 virus's functions could aid in treatment designs

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

For the first time, a team of researchers has captured X-ray images of a critical enzyme of the COVID-19 virus performing its function. This discovery could improve design of new treatments against the disease.

Field guides: Argonne scientists bolster evidence of new physics in Muon g-2 experiment

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The first result from the Muon g-2 experiment points to the existence of undiscovered particles or forces. These findings could have major implications for future particle physics experiments and could lead to greater understanding of how the universe works.
