This afternoon, Sept. 30, Fermilab will shut down the Tevatron for the last time. This story honors the operators - the men and women who have kept the accelerators running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Continue reading →

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 are plans for its future. Continue reading →

On the eve of the shutdown of Fermilab's Tevatron, collaborators from the CDF and DZero experiments are expressing their gratitude for all the hard work and dedication that made 26 years of capturing billions of proton and antiproton collisions possibl... Continue reading →

On Friday Sept. 23, students arrived at control rooms for the LHC and its detectors throughout the evening in groups of five to 10. For the second time, members of the four largest experiments at the LHC at CERN were participating in Researchers’ Nig... Continue reading →

The OPERA neutrino experiment announced today the kind of result that keeps a physicist up at night. Scientists revealed that they have observed subatomic particles seeming to travel faster than the speed of light. Leaders of the collaboration will sha... Continue reading →

When electron cooling was implemented at Fermilab in 2005, scientists thought it could help increase the peak luminosity by a factor of 1.5 to 2. Now, less than a decade later, it has become integral to the Tevatron’s success, leading to an increase ... Continue reading →

Forty-one percent of the children in Sudan are malnourished and underweight, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Mohamed Eisa, a physicist at the Sudan University of Science & Technology, would like to change ... Continue reading →
