Physicists in the United States were left without access to one of the most significant installations a few days ago, when the Tevatron particle accelerator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), in Batavia, Illinois, was closed down on September 30, 2011.
After serving the cause of modern physic... |

A team of investigators from the US Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) Center for Particle Astrophysics (CPA) says that dark matter is the most improbable ally that life has in its struggle to spread across the Universe. Two researchers say that the stuff – which cannot... |

A group of physicists from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) announces a new discovery, that may shed some light on why normal matter was allowed to prevail in its fight against annihilation with antimatter. According to the Big Bang theory, the most comprehensi... |

When experts conduct studies of extrasolar planet, they tend to assess their potential for supporting life based on some of the traits they can distinguish. But there is often an overlooked factor, some experts say, and that is the influence of dark matter. In the image attached to this article, the distribution of d... |

While conducting collisions at the Tevatron, physicists from Fermilab discovered what could very well be a new elementary particle. Interestingly, the existence of this particle was not predicted by the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The discovery was made as experts at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory,... |

In a new study, astronomers have determined that the presence of dark matter can have a beneficial effect on extrasolar planets that are too far away from their parent stars to receive heat. High temperatures are considered to be one of the most important prerequisites for the development of life. As such, experts ha... |

According to officials at the US Department of Energy (DOE), the Tevatron particle accelerator, the most famous in the United States, will be closed down this September. The announcement was made on January 10.Physicists at the DOE Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), in Batavia, Illinois, had hoped to u... |

For more than 20 years, a “rogue” theory in particle physics had it that a new type of elementary particle existed in the Standard Model, the current approach to explaining the basic particles around us. But, after all these years, it would now appear that evidence to confirm the existence of this particl... |

One of the most interesting ideas in theoretical physics today is that our Universe may in fact by just a 3D projection of a 2D world that exists in a finite bandwidth.Some researchers say that our existence, and that of everything around us, could be compared to a very high-definition 3D video, that unfolds within c... |

The United States will most likely enjoy the benefits of housing the second-most powerful particle accelerator in the world for another three years, say a group of physicists that recently made the recommendation. The panel was to decide whether to propose an extension to the Tevatron program, or if they should recom... |

Physicists in the United States believe that they may have discovered the most compelling proof that dark matter indeed exists, deep within the core of our own galaxy, the Milky Way.The team believes that it is the first group to demonstrate that the elusive substance actually exists. Thus far, experts have only assu... |

Officials at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced today that the shutdown planned for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will indeed stretch for more than a year. Initially, they announced that the particle accelerator would only be closed throughout 2012, but it would appear that the extent o... |

A collaboration of US scientists, featuring experts from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), and the University of Minnesota School of Physics and Astronomy, will construct this year a new, experimental matter detector. Aimed directly at unraveling the mysteries ... |

Theories about what happened in the early Universe, after the Big Bang, exist in abundance, but the issue is that no one knows for sure what forces acted on the hot ionized gases that were formed following the greatest explosion ever. That is to say, after the first moment, the Universe was filled with ionized gas, w... |

Finding the elusive Higgs boson, the particle that makes energy acquire mass, has been the goal of physicists for several decades, and projects such as Fermilab and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have appeared to accomplish exactly that. Now, due to the DZero collaboration at the Department of Energy (DOE)'s Fe... |

At this year's annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Chicago, swords have been drawn. Through the voices of Director Pier Oddone, and colleague Dr. Dmitri Denisov, Fermilab announced that it could beat the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)'s Larg... |

A TV documentary film directed by Clayton Brown and Monica Ross will be aired today on PBS, presenting the lives of the scientists from the American Fermilab laboratory in Illinois. "The Atom Smashers," as the saga movie is called, tries to reveal the real, human aspects behind the "talking heads" that are usually sh... |

The fact that the Large Hadron Collider is shut down until next year doesn't mean that discoveries in the field of quantum particle physics aren't deployed anymore. As such, researchers operating the old Tevatron device from the American Fermilab laboratory in Batavia (Illinois) stumbled upon a strange new ... |

I bet that, as hard as you may think, you can't come up with what a 5th dimension (besides time and the 3 spatial ones) would be like or where to look for it. But don't worry, Fermilab seems to be miles ahead, as the researchers in Batavia built devices to help them in a series of studies that may prov... |
