The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, commonly known as Fermilab, is a major particle physics laboratory located in Batavia, Illinois. Established in 1967, it is operated by the U.S. Department of Energy and focuses on research in high-energy physics. Fermilab is home to the Tevatron, which was once the world's highest-energy particle accelerator, and currently hosts various experiments that explore fundamental questions about the universe. Fermilab's research includes studying neutrinos, quarks, and the properties of dark matter. The laboratory collaborates with scientists worldwide and contributes to significant discoveries in particle physics. Its mission is to advance knowledge in the field and educate the public about the importance of scientific research.
