Fermilab
Fermilab was established in 1967 near Batavia, Illinois as a National Accelerator Laboratory and named after Enrico Fermi in 1974. Fermilab is almost exclusively funded by the Department of Energy. Fermi Research Alliance LLC took over management in 2006 and plans to host the International Linear Collider have stalled due to lack of funds. CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Europe has surpassed the capacity of Fermilab. In September, 2008 Fermilab discovered a new particle called, Omega-sub-b that will be instrumental in completing the periodic table of the baryons. Fermilab is friendly to the public and welcomes press inquiries.
