Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory definition of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), physical science research center located near Batavia, Ill., est. 1968 as the National Accelerator Laboratory, renamed 1974 in honor of Enrico Fermi Fermi, Enrico , 1901–54, American physicist, b. Italy. He studied at Pisa, Göttingen, and Leiden, and taught physics at the universities of Florence and Rome. He contributed to the early theory of beta decay and the neutrino and to quantum statistics.

Work at Fermilab is devoted to the study of elementary particles elementary particles, the most basic physical constituents of the universe. Basic Constituents of Matter

Molecules are built up from the atom, which is the basic unit of any chemical element.

Such machines, popularly called atom smashers, are needed to observe objects as small as the atomic nucleus in studies
