Fermilab has announced a wacky shipping plan for a huge magnetic ring used to study subatomic particles. It’s coming to the suburbs of Chicago from Long Island on a 3,200-mile route.
The federal government recently announced it will no longer fund Fermilab’s massive particle collider and when Tevatron stops operating later this year, up to 100 employees may also lose their jobs.The particle collider in west suburban Batavia was once the world’s most powerful.
