Engineering innovation meets history in groundbreaking neutrino experiment hosted by Fermilab

At the Sanford Underground Research Facility, hovercraft technology is being used to efficiently move massive steel beams for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility/Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. Named after a beloved workhorse at the former gold mine that now contains the science facility, "Maggie II" is an innovative solution for the challenges of transporting heavy, awkwardly shaped beams underground to construct one of the largest physics experiments in the world.

Amy Nam named 2025 Fermi Forward Discovery Group Guest Composer

Amy Nam, the 2025 Fermi Forward Discovery Group Guest Composer, will use her musical talents to transform complex physics concepts from research at Fermilab into accessible auditory experiences for the public. Through her project, "The Harp Inside Schrödinger's Box," Nam aims to blend original harp music and spoken word to both educate and engage new audiences with quantum physics research.

Jelena Berenc named 2025 Fermi Forward Discovery Group Guest Artist

Jelena Berenc is the Fermi Forward Discovery Group 2025 Guest Artist at Fermilab, where she will collaborate with scientists to create artwork inspired by their research. Her innovative approach, called information realism, allows her to explore complex scientific concepts through visual language, offering the public a unique perspective into the work at Fermilab.

Fermilab hosts 2025 CMS Data Analysis School for next generation of collider physicists

Over 100 participants convened at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory for the 2025 CMS Data Analysis School, an intensive program dedicated to preparing the next generation of physicists for work on the CMS experiment at CERN. Hosted by the LHC Physics Center at Fermilab, the week-long event included lectures, hands-on exercises and collaborative analysis projects designed to enhance participants' expertise in particle physics data analysis.

Sowjanya Gollapinni elected co-spokesperson for DUNE collaboration

Sowjanya Gollapinni has been elected as the new co-spokesperson for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, succeeding Mary Bishai. Gollapinni is a senior scientist and the Neutrino Group Leader at Los Alamos National Laboratory and has been involved with DUNE since 2015. Now, she will co-lead the project to its next stages of development.

Don't call it toponium

A large and unexpected excess of top quark pairs has the physics community excited, but the interpretation is still up for debate.
