Watch Fermilab’s Astoundingly Massive Neutrino Detector Being Built
The Department of Energy’s Fermilab is building a gargantuan detector to examine uncharged subatomic neutrinos that can blast through the earth unimpeded. The 14,000t detector in Minnesota will capture neutrinos shot from a cannon over 800km away. Watch how they build a huge catcher’s mitt for subatomic particles.

Fermilab’s Claim Of New Subatomic Particle Discredited By Rival Team
Fermilab believed they hit the motherlode this past April after findings from the Tevatron particle accelerator suggested a new subatomic particle was out there. A second, independent group has analysed that same data and claim there is no new particle.
