A 43-foot-long magnet for the world's largest particle collider broke "with a loud bang and a cloud of dust" during a high-pressure test, and officials said Tuesday they are working to find a replacement part.The part that failed March 27 was in a super-cooled magnet...

The world's most ambitious particle collider _ which scientists hope could reveal what matter is made of _ might not be fully functional until next year, months after its scheduled startup date, officials at the European Organization for Nuclear Research said Thursday.Scientists have been scrambling...

When studying physics, Enrico Fermi was in his element.So much so, he has an element named after him.That would be fermium, the 100th element, called that in his honor by admiring colleagues.He is the namesake of the Fermi Institute on the campus of the University...
