It took months to build a camera capable of detecting dark energy at Fermilab in Illinois. It will be installed later next year on the Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. Astronomers suggest a mysterious force called dark ...
Fermilab is Building a 'Holometer' to Determine Once and For All Whether Reality Is Just an Illusion
Researchers at Fermilab are building a ? So Fermilab particle astrophysicist Craig Hogan and his team are building a ?holometer? to magnify spacetime and see if it is indeed as noisy as the math suggests it might be at higher resolution. In ...
The ageing Tevatron particle smasher can still compete with the upstart Large Hadron Collider, says a committee of physicists that has recommended keeping the older accelerator alive for three more years. It is still possible for the Tevatron to beat the LHC, ...
The only particle physics lab in the United States should get another chance to beat its European rival to the discovery of the most coveted particle in high-energy physics-even if it means delaying other projects at the lab, an independent committee of ...
Scientists are inching closer to a glimpse of the theorized 'God particle' - the mother of all particles - researchers from Fermilab announced today at the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) in Paris.. Scientists at Fermilab have significantly narrowed the ...
Geek Feminism Blog points to a really interesting exercise that has "seventh-graders draw and describe their image of scientists before and after a visit to Fermilab. "Among girls (14 in total), 36% portrayed a female scientist in the 'before' drawing, and 57% ...
Also see the other articles in this issue's special Beyond Einstein section: These energetic particles, called (somewhat misleadingly) cosmic rays, tell revealing tales about the exploding stars and black holes that have shaped galaxies and seeded the cosmos with the essential elements ...
Tweet . According to Wired, this 570-megapixel camera is possibly the largest digicam ever built. But I wonder how it compares with the 1.4-gigapixel shooter conceived last year by the Institute for Astronomy in the University of Hawaii that we wrote about ...
World's largest atom smasher in Geneva shuts to prepare for higher energy, discovery next yearThe world's largest atom smasher, which exceeded expectations after its comeback from heavy damage, will be ready to begin a groundbreaking research program in February, the operator said ...
World's largest atom smasher in Geneva records first high-energy collisions during testingThe world's largest atom smasher has recorded its first high-energy collisions of protons, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.Physicists hope those collisions will help them understand suspected phenomena such as dark matter, antimatter ...
