Particle Physics Research

Using state-of-the-art technology, our scientists explore the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time.

At Fermilab, we develop, build and operate the particle accelerators of the 21st century.

Fermilab achieves milestone beam power for neutrino experiments

Years of work upgrading the accelerator have made it possible to achieve the high beam power needed to produce neutrinos — the most elusive of nature's known particles — by the truckload.

Five extreme facts about neutron stars

Neutron stars have earned their share of superlatives since their discovery in 1967.

Fermilab kicks off 50th anniversary in style

Fermilab's 50th anniversary year has arrived, and though we're happy to toot our own horn, on Jan. 21 Chicago's Mucca Pazza tooted theirs for us.

The birth of Fermilab

Fermilab's beginnings can be traced to a 1963 report by a panel of U.S. scientists led by Norman Ramsey.

The value of basic research

How can we measure the worth of scientific knowledge? Economic analysts give it a shot.

Fermilab scientists honored with Presidential Early Career Awards

The awards highlight the key role that the administration places in encouraging and accelerating American innovation to grow our economy and tackle our greatest challenges.

Many visitors to Fermilab reasonably conclude from its name that Enrico Fermi worked at the laboratory, but he never did. He died in 1954, years before scientists recommended the construction of a U.S. accelerator laboratory.
