$27 million award bolsters research computing grid
Every day researchers add another sea of data to an ocean of knowledge on the world around us — billions on top of billions of measurements, images and observations of the tiniest subatomic particles up to the movement of planets and stars.
Fermilab invites public to view baby buffalo
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory welcomes the public to view its herd of American bison, commonly known as buffalo.
Fermilab experiment announces world’s best measurement of key property of neutrinos
Scientists from the MINOS experiment at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have revealed the world’s most precise measurement of a key parameter that governs the transformation of one type of neutrino to another.
Tevatron experiments report latest results in search for Higgs boson
New measurements announced today by scientists from the CDF and DZero collaborations at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory indicate that the elusive Higgs boson may nearly be cornered.
World’s best measurement of W boson mass points to Higgs mass and tests Standard Model
The world’s most precise measurement of the mass of the W boson, one of nature’s elementary particles, has been achieved by scientists from the CDF and DZero collaborations at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
Clearest picture yet of dark matter points the way to better understanding of dark energy
Two teams of physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermilab and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have independently made the largest direct measurements of the invisible scaffolding of the universe, building maps of dark matter using new methods that, in turn, will remove key hurdles for understanding dark energy with ground-based telescopes.
Fermilab to Build Illinois Accelerator Research Center
A new accelerator research facility being built at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will bolster Illinois’ reputation as a technology hub and foster job creation.
Possible signs of the Higgs remain in latest analyses
Two experiments at the Large Hadron Collider have nearly eliminated the space in which the Higgs boson could dwell, scientists announced in a seminar held at CERN today.
Tevatron shuts down, but analysis continues
The Tevatron will shut down at the end of September 2011 after 26 years of colliding particles.
Surprise difference in neutrino and antineutrino mass lessening with new measurements from a Fermilab experiment
The physics community got a jolt last year when results showed for the first time that neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antineutrinos, might be the odd man out in the particle world and have different masses.
