Spring at Fermilab welcomes the arrival of two baby bison

Fermilab welcomed two baby bison today, marking the start of calving season at the Department of Energy's particle physics laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. With 23 cows and two bulls in the herd, visitors can witness these iconic animals in their natural habitat, either in person or via the Fermilab bison camera.

Cristian Boffo appointed director of Fermilab's particle accelerator upgrade project

After six years contributing to the Proton Improvement Plan-II, Boffo now takes the reins as project director for the major enhancement to the Fermilab accelerator complex.

The LHC experiment collaborations at CERN receive Breakthrough Prize

Fermilab Distinguished Scientist Patricia McBride was invited to Santa Monica, California to accept the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on behalf of the CMS collaboration.

Fermilab-led computing project receives large 2025 DOE INCITE award

A Fermilab-led computing project received the second-largest award and was the largest particle physics project granted supercomputer time from the DOE Office of Science INCITE program. The project will continue to further explore numerical simulations to address questions in particle physics.

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.
