Graziano Venanzoni elected new co-spokesperson of Muon g-2 collaboration

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

A physicist at the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics, Venanzoni will help prepare the Muon g-2 collaboration for its highly anticipated first scientific publication and work with partners to ensure a long life for the experiment, where scientists are searching for new particles emerging from the quantum foam that surrounds all matter.

Argonne National Laboratory and AT&T extend climate resiliency project nationwide

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Business Announcement

Argonne and AT&T have been working together to project risks from changing climate on America's Southeastern region. Today they've announced that they're extending their analysis to cover the entire contiguous U.S.

ICEBERG tests future neutrino detector systems with 'beautiful' results

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Scientists are testing the components and systems for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermilab, with other liquid-argon particle detectors. One such detector is ICEBERG, which is over 10,000 times smaller than DUNE will be. ICEBERG's measurements are providing insight for future neutrino experiments.
