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... |

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... |
