Argonne National Laboratory hosts Energy Efficiency Scaling for Two Decades Workshop

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Meeting Announcement

Argonne recently hosted an Energy Efficiency Scaling for Two Decades Workshop. This is the latest in a series of workshops led by the Department of Energy to develop a roadmap to double the energy efficiency of semiconductors every two years.

Muon g-2 experiment announces updated result that’s twice as precise

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The Muon g-2 collaboration announced an updated measurement. The new result aligns with the collaboration’s first result, and it’s twice as precise. The experiment measures a property of the muon that might indicate existence of new particles or forces.

Muon g-2 doubles down with latest measurement, explores uncharted territory in search of new physics

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists working on Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment released the world’s most precise measurement yet of the magnetic moment of the muon, bringing particle physics closer to the ultimate showdown between theory and experiment that may uncover new particles or forces.
