Scientists of the Pierre Auger Project, whose goal is to discover the source of very high-energy cosmic rays, will announce the choice of the project’s northern-hemisphere observatory at a meeting in San Rafael, Argentina on September 12. The 150-member collaboration will choose among three sites: one in western Spain, one in the western U.S., and one in Mexico.

Batavia IL — Physicists at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory today (March 2) announced the discovery of the subatomic particle called the top quark, the last undiscovered quark of the six predicted by current scientific theory. Scientists worldwide had sought the top quark since the discovery of the bottom quark at Fermilab in 1977. The discovery provides strong support for the quark theory of the structure of matter. Two research papers, submitted in Friday, February 24, to…
