Technical staff at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have completed a prototype of a special superconducting cryomodule, the first of its kind in the world. The ...

The Fermilab particle accelerator known as the Tevatron, a 4.26-mile underground loop that had been the leading facility of its kind in the world, will close Sept. 30, the Batavia, Ill., lab said ...

As the massive 95-metric ton coldbox completed its cross-ocean journey, the crowd at Fermilab braving frigid winter temperatures last week could imagine what the particle accelerator being chilled to ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

Legislators from Illinois have proposed renaming Fermilab’s Integrated Engineering Research Center in Batavia after a particle physicist who worked at the facility for 40 years. U.S. Reps. Bill Foster ...
