Physicists publish worldwide consensus of muon magnetic moment calculation

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

An international team of theoretical physicists have published their calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Their work expands on a simple yet richly descriptive equation that revolutionized physics almost a century ago and that may aid scientists in the discovery of physics beyond the Standard Model. Now the world awaits the result from the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment.

Exemplary Student Research Program inspires our next generation of researchers

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Every year, the Exemplary Student Research Program welcomes students from Chicagoland high schools to complete research projects at Argonne's scientific facilities. The program inspires and trains the next generation of researchers.

Hooks on the feathers stick together: Visualizing how birds form continuous wings in flight

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Studying bird feathers at the Advanced Photon Source has given scientists a picture of the mechanism that holds those feathers together when birds fly.

PIP-II engineers continue designs for particle-propelling machine from home

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Engineers from five countries are coordinating the design of the large cryomodules that will enable the new PIP-II accelerator at Fermilab to generate protons for the world's most powerful beam of neutrinos, in support of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Deep learning system will monitor birds at solar facilities

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has been awarded $1.3 million from DOE's Solar Energy Technologies Office to develop technology that can cost-effectively monitor avian interactions with solar energy infrastructure.

SENSEI gets quiet

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

A good dark matter detector has a lot in common with a good teleconference setup: You need a sensitive microphone and a quiet room. The SENSEI experiment has demonstrated world-leading sensitivity and the low background needed for an effective search for low-mass dark matter.
