Failure is a necessity in scientific research. In my field of particle physics, breakthroughs are often measured in decades.

BATAVIA, Ill. (WLS) -- Fermilab in west suburban Batavia broke ground on a new particle accelerator project Friday. The new machine will power cutting-edge physics experiments for years to come by ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has confirmed the observation of an ultra-rare particle decay that has puzzled physicists for roughly two decades. The decay, in which a sigma-plus hyperon transforms ...

Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, is known for its powerful particle accelerator and cutting-edge research in particle physics, but outside the U.S. Department of Energy facility, the bison that roam the ...

Chicago (CBS) - Baby bison season officially kicked off this morning as the first calf of the year was born at Fermilab. The first calf of the year was born in the early morning hours, with a second ...

This summer, nearly 50 professional and amateur photographers from the Midwest and beyond were invited behind the scenes at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in ...

Particle physicists have been eagerly awaiting the first trials of the new Main Injector neutrino beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the US. This new facility is the result of ...

Seven years into his career as a newspaper photographer, Reidar Hahn had grown tired of hustling at all hours of the day and night. "I was doing sports, chasing ambulances, chasing firetrucks. I was ...

BATAVIA, Ill. (WLS) -- Fermilab in west suburban Batavia welcomed its first baby bison of the year on Tuesday. The birth increases the size of the herd to 18. As many as 14 more are expected to be ...

At times over the past 10 years, Imperial stormtroopers have been sighted in the prairie on Fermilab’s Batavia campus. Aliens have been spotted sitting around a Fermilab conference room-turned-cantina ...

In what may be one of the most mind-bogglingly surreal experiments ever floated, scientists at the US Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) will attempt to discover ...

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 ...
