Fermilab

25 years ago today, the DONUT collaboration @Fermilab made the FIRST-ever direct detection of tau neutrino interactions. The elusive tau neutrinos discovery unlocked the potential of new physics.  Our National Labs' discoveries are constantly advancing us!

#OTD 25 years ago, the DONUT 🍩 collaboration at @Fermilab detected a tau neutrino for the 1st time! But a discovery 25 years prior (by physicist Martin Perl at SLAC) made it possible - alerting the field to the existence of this most elusive particle: bit.ly/4lMQiyw

.@ENERGY's @SecretaryWright visited Fermilab recently to see how the lab is driving American leadership in fundamental sciences and discovery, including in cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence. news.fnal.gov/2025/07/secret…

At the center of all leading particle physics labs are the particle accelerators that make the research possible. But just why are particle accelerators necessary? What do they do? In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don explains it all. youtu.be/1-TQMjrZGlw?fe…

#ICYMI: The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top quarks that suggests that these heaviest of all elementary particles form a fleeting union. symmetrymagazine.org/article/elusiv…

On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the detection of tau neutrinos for the first time. Here are a few ideas for celebrating 25 years of the most elusive of elusive particles. symmetrymagazine.org/article/a-tast…

Today, I visited @FERMILab where America’s top minds are utilizing AI, Quantum, and particle physics to streamline energy innovation and push the bounds of possibility.

.@SecretaryWright visited the front lines of America’s future today at @Fermilab.    The takeaway is clear: The U.S. is securing our energy future through groundbreaking innovation and discovery with the best of the best. We do not outsource innovation—we LEAD in it.
