New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...

Scientists have taken a major step towards finding elusive types of tiny, 'ghost-like' particles, and potentially new physics. For the first time, neutrinos have been spotted by the Short-Baseline ...

Could future fusion reactors also serve as laboratories in which to manufacture dark matter? That’s the provocative question ...

After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a long-hypothesized “mystery particle” likely doesn’t exist. Using the MicroBooNE ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- When you think of the intersection of science and music, you might think of Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" – that song consisting of creatively-reordered recitation of all the elements ...

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 ...

BATAVIA, Ill. (WLS) -- Jessica Esquivel's love of science brought her to Fermilab in Batavia to do brand new research into the nature of the universe. Her love for her community is sharing that ...

One way to better understand an atom is to shoot a particle at it and infer the atom’s properties based on how the particle bounces off it. In the mid-1930s, the physicist Enrico Fermi showed that one ...

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” has it all wrong. The eponymous Robert Oppenheimer, who served as the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during the development of the atomic bomb, did not usher ...
