Fermilab and the search for the Higgs boson

Voice of America : A decades-old physics laboratory in the central US state of Illinois has found itself in the race to help scientists unlock the secrets of the universe. The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory was conceived more than 40 years ago to explore the outer reaches of physics. A much newer atom smasher at European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, was built to make the ultimate discovery, what some call the “God article.”
