Overview

The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, located in Batavia, Illinois, is a premier research facility for high-energy particle physics, operated by the University of Chicago and sponsored by the United States Department of Energy. With its powerful particle accelerators, including the Main Injector and the former Tevatron, Fermilab has been at the forefront of groundbreaking discoveries, including the detection of the top quark and the observation of neutrino oscillations. As a world center for neutrino physics, Fermilab is currently hosting the construction of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), a multi-billion dollar project that aims to unlock the secrets of the universe. With a rich history dating back to 1967, Fermilab has been a hub for innovative research, attracting scientists and engineers from around the globe, including notable figures such as [[leon-lederman|Leon Lederman]] and [[melvin-schwarz|Melvin Schwartz]]. Today, Fermilab continues to push the boundaries of human knowledge, exploring the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy, and the fundamental nature of matter and energy, in collaboration with other prominent research institutions, including [[cern|CERN]] and [[slac-national-accelerator-laboratory|SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory]].
