The US Department of Energy in its April 2009 Funding Opportunity Announcement declared new research areas eligible for receipt of grants from the $40 million appropriated by Congress to investigate advanced water power energy generation technologies.     more...

How small is ultrasmall: Theoretical physics at Fermilab

Theoretical and experimental works. Fermilab is a laboratory where advances in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology converge. At Fermilab, theoretical physicists work hand-in-hand with experimenters. Theorists play a crucial role in making connections among the numerous discoveries made by experiments around the world each year.     more...

How small is ultrasmall: Fermilab`s Researches on the frontiers of high-energy physics

For every answer two new questions arise. Particle physics experiments at the Fermilab explore the fundamental constituents and architecture of the universe. Here accelerators produce the highest-energy particles ever made by man. Experimentalists use particle collisions to search for undiscovered particles     more...
