On March 2, 1995, laboratory staff, users and media gathered at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the lab's Ramsey Auditorium to hear about one of the most ...

A. Lincoln Read was one of the first physicists hired to help launch the U.S. government’s Fermilab particle physics and accelerator laboratory near Batavia, and held important roles at the lab for 38 ...

As I bump across the railway tracks and drive under the blue archway marking the entrance to Fermilab, the US particle-physics centre’s iconic Wilson Hall gleams like marble in the distance. Drive a ...

Fermilab’s Antiproton Source has long produced the antimatter that makes Fermilab’s particle collisions possible. While the Antiproton Source will shut down along with the Tevatron on Sept. 30, there ...

John Peoples was asked in the mid-1990s about the value of doing pure scientific research — that which has no predetermined benefit. “Knowledge is a form of wealth,” he replied. “It is an investment.” ...

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory officially broke ground March 15 on a major new particle accelerator project that will power cutting-edge physics experiments for many decades to come. The new ...

Nigel Lockyer, director of Canada’s TRIUMF laboratory for particle and nuclear physics and a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of British Columbia, has been selected to become the ...
