Inaugural cohort of ASPIRE fellows share their experiences

The ASPIRE Fellowship, open to engineering students from underrepresented backgrounds, celebrates its successful first year and looks ahead to 2023. Applications are now open.

Swiss state secretary for education, research and innovation visits Fermilab

While many components of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are being developed, international collaborators such as Switzerland are making valuable contributions. Recently, the Swiss state secretary visited Fermilab to discuss DUNE and other joint areas of science research.

Madagascar's path to neutrino physics

Laza Rakotondravohitra was the first Malagasy grad student to conduct research in neutrino physics. He and others are working to ensure he will be far from the last.

Access to University of Chicago's Pritzker Nanofabrication Facility enables quantum research

SQMS Center researchers have fabricated quantum devices to evaluate the effect of different materials on qubit performance, thanks to proximity to the Pritzker Nanofabrication Facility.

SBND scientists complete assembly of large neutrino detection system

An international group of scientists has finished the assembly of the large neutrino detection system for the Short-Baseline Near Detector at Fermilab.

Fermilab receives Inflation Reduction Act funding

The U.S. Department of Energy allocated funds to its 17 national laboratories from the Inflation Reduction Act to mitigate the rise of project costs as a result of inflation. Fermilab will spend the funding on the lab's on-going construction projects. This will allow the lab's major projects to uphold their schedules and keep their commitment to international collaborators.
