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 ...

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 ...

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has a new director. Norbert Holtkamp will take over Jan. 12, the University of Chicago announced Monday. Holtkamp is the former deputy director of the SLAC ...

This discovery is important because it ruled out a major possibility for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

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 ...

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 ...
