OUR SCIENCE

Fermilab news

At Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, postdoctoral researcher Ryan Linehan explores the intersection of quantum information science and particle physics by studying how particles impact superconducting quantum devices. Linehan's work helps advance both quantum computing and dark matter detection.

Fermilab innovators earn six patents for groundbreaking technologies

Scientists and engineers at Fermilab are turning visionary science into real-world solutions, bridging the gap between fundamental research and industry. Their patented technologies reflect not only scientific excellence but also a growing emphasis on practical impact, economic value and cross-sector collaboration.

Muon g-2 announces most precise measurement of the magnetic anomaly of the muon

The third and final result, based on the last three years of data, is in perfect agreement with the experiment's previous results, further solidifying the experimental world average. This long-awaited value will be the world's most precise measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly for many years to come.

Argonne and Fermilab receive $3.2M in federal funding for nuclear transmutation technology

The labs are developing a practical approach to reduce the size and cost of superconducting linear accelerators, which offer great potential for addressing used nuclear fuel, while also improving their reliability.

Science meets soil in Fermilab's prairie land

Since its inception 50 years ago, the prairie restoration success at Fermilab has become a living laboratory — supporting scientific research, fostering biodiversity and providing essential ecosystem services like erosion control and enhanced soil health.

Scientists advance their vision for a muon collider

Physicists are exploring the development of a muon collider — an advanced particle accelerator that could reveal new insights into the nature of our universe. Though great challenges exist in studying fast-decaying muons, technological advancements in accelerators, magnets and detectors could make building the collider a reality. Recent workshops hosted by Fermilab brought together researchers from around the globe to address some of these challenges.
