New
Scientist: Last year, it looked as though Fermilab's
Tevatron collider would continue to hunt for the Higgs boson
until 2014. An advisory panel had recommended the three-year
extension in the wake of delays at CERN's Large Hadron
Collider. Yesterday, however, the US Department of Energy,
which funds the Tevatron, announced that the extension would be
cancelled. Unless new funding can be found, the Tevatron will
cease operations later this year.
