A death occurred this morning at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Around 10:50 a.m. employees investigating a noise found a young female lying in the atrium of Wilson Hall.

High school teachers will take science out of the textbook and put it into children’s hands at Fermilab’s annual Wonders of Science event.

The Large Hadron Collider has launched a new era for particle physics. Today at 6:06 a.m. CDT (1:06 p.m. Central European Summer Time) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, the first particles collided at the record energy of seven trillion electron volts (TeV).

High school students can learn about career options at the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Career Expo and meet with professionals in these fields from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 7, at the Department of Energy’s Fermilab.

On Tuesday, March 30, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland will make their first attempt to achieve record-breaking particle collisions of 7 trillion electron volts, signifying the start of the research program for the world’s most powerful accelerator.

Deep underground sits a grouping of experiments, dedicated to discovering the secrets of the universe. On Monday, March 8, Fermilab will honor women who contributed to those experiments, and all women working at the laboratory, in celebration of International Women’s Day.

he Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland has reached record-breaking energies, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to close up shop at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

This year’s Family Open House at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will take place from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 21. The Open House offers family-style hands-on activities, science shows and Q&A sessions with scientists.

Particle beams are once again zooming around the world’s most powerful particle accelerator—the Large Hadron Collider—located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. On November 20 at 4:00 p.m. EST, a clockwise circulating beam was established in the LHC’s 17-mile ring.
