Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab)

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, or Fermilab, is a leading research center in Illinois dedicated to studying fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe. It uses large and powerful machines called particle accelerators to smash particles together at high speeds, helping scientists understand how the universe works—from the tiniest particles to cosmic phenomena. Fermilab's work advances knowledge in physics, contributing to technological innovations and our understanding of the universe’s origins, composition, and fundamental laws.
