Ever since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was under construction, the Batavia, Illinois-based Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) began to work extra-hard on finding the elusive Higgs Boson. This elementary particle would complete and firmly prove the Standard Model in physics, which now features two cl... |

Shortly after managing to fix the helium leaks that forced engineers to shut down the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) last September, project managers discovered another fluke. This time, they identified two areas of vacuum leak, in regions of the particle accelerator that needed to be cooled near absolute zero. The new ... |

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 ... |
