Neutrinos are the most abundant massive particle in the universe, they come in 3 types: muon, electron, and tau. Scientists know that neutrinos change from one type to another as they travel. One goal of Fermilab experiments like DUNE & NOvA is to better understand this process.

Chris Polly, one of four representatives who accepted the 2026 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on behalf of the Muon g-2 collaborations, reflected on the decades of work and collaboration behind the groundbreaking measurement of the muon’s magnetic moment. He expressed his appreciation for the Breakthrough Prize for recognizing the hundreds of scientists who dedicate their lives to uncovering fundamental facts about our world and for celebrating the collective effort behind these discoveries.

#DidYouKnow @Fermilab quantum sensors are used to search for theoretical dark matter particles, called axions. In a strong magnetic field, axions can convert into photons. Quantum sensors can detect single photons from axions.
