Fermi National Laboratory

Fermi National Laboratory, or Fermilab, is a major scientific facility in Illinois dedicated to exploring fundamental questions about the universe. It operates large particle accelerators that speed up tiny particles, like electrons and protons, to near light speeds. When these particles collide, scientists analyze the resulting data to understand the basic building blocks of matter and forces. Fermilab’s research helps uncover the origins of the universe, the nature of dark matter, and the fundamental laws of physics. It’s a hub for cutting-edge scientific discovery and international collaboration in particle physics.
