Physicists and computer scientists at the Department of Energy’s Fermilab can stake a larger claim on the future of high-energy physics-and on the next generation of computing-thanks to their part in the first-ever awards in DOE’s Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing Program (SciDAC), announced today (August 14) in Washington, D.C. by Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham.

Scientists from the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today (July 25) that for the first time they have made data collected by a high-energy physics experiment available to any scientist who wants to use it.

Imagine the journey a single atom would take from the Big Bang through the creation of the universe, on to the beginnings of life on Earth and then beyond our demise…Physicist Lawrence M. Krauss, author of The Physics of Star Trek, has imagined just such a journey—and, as chairman of the Department of Physics at Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University, he has the science to back his vision.
