Norbert Holtkamp, a veteran of international research, takes over leadership of the particle physics laboratory in suburban ...

Norbert Holtkamp has been appointed as the new director of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, effective Jan. 12, 2026.

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

Particle accelerators are usually huge structures—think of the 3.2-km-long SLAC National Accelerator Lab in Stanford, ...

Exciting news from the world of science. In a study published in the journal Nature Physics, scientists at CERN in ...

Particle accelerators could be incredibly useful for medicine – if they weren’t so huge. The SLAC accelerator, for example, is almost 2 mi (3.2 km) long, while CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) runs ...

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 ...

Atoms will reveal their secrets—you just need enough speed to coerce them. Scientists have known this since at least the 1920s, when they first started firing particles at nuclei via large tubes ...

A California-based company is getting $150M from the Trump Administration to build a particle accelerator at Albany Nanotech.

Scientists working on an experiment at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the US have taken a step forward in developing a technology which could significantly reduce the size of particle ...

Particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are wonders of modern engineering and vending machines for Nobel prizes, but they’re also large – as indicated by the LHC's name – and costly ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has approved the beginning stages of the next big particle accelerator. These plans serve as one followup project to the Large Hadron Collider.
