Fermilab’s cosmic research program explores the fundamental nature of matter, energy, space, and time, as revealed in the unique natural laboratory of the cosmos:

Cosmic surveys of galaxies and cosmic background radiation use precise measurements of cosmic structure to learn about fundamental physics of cosmic acceleration, new forms of gravitating matter, and properties of cosmic neutrinos.
A coordinated campaign of experiments seeks direct detection and detailed study of the properties of cosmic dark matter particles in the laboratory. Ultraprecise, correlated interferometry at superluminal frequencies probes the quantum nature of space and time to below the Planck length.

We invite you to join the adventure, a high-energy, cosmic journey: learn about the Center for Particle Astrophysics—who we are, the science we’re focused on, and how you can be a part of it.
