Designing resilient targets for high-energy particle accelerators

Particle accelerator beams can create significant damage to the targets used to generate particles for experiments. Researchers are designing targets to withstand material degradation from radiation damage, shock from thermal expansion and material fatigue - all caused by accelerated protons.

Fermilab and Spain sign agreement to strengthen collaboration on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment

The new memorandum of understanding will elevate the collaboration between the Spanish Ministry of Science and Fermilab in developing detection systems and the physics of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. DUNE is an international science project that will seek to determine whether neutrinos could be the reason the universe is made of matter.

Fermilab camp sparks student interest in STEM careers

The Science Accelerating Girls' Engagement Camp at Fermilab welcomes a diverse group of high school students to a five-day science experience. The program aims to broaden gender diversity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Join Fermilab physicists for live Dark Matter Day events

Celebrate International Dark Matter Day by joining a live Q&A session through YouTube with physicists from Fermilab at 11 a.m. Central Time on Wednesday, Oct. 30. Additionally, a dark matter-themed trivia event will be held in Batavia, Illinois on Oct. 28.
