Installation crews from Fermilab, CERN and the Sanford Underground Research Facility have begun building massive cryostats for the DUNE neutrino experiment.
Cryostats are giant insulated containers that will hold the detector's liquid argon and detector components underground.
Physics World reported the same cryostat installation start on 2026-11-10.

Why it matters

DUNE is a large underground neutrino experiment intended to study neutrino properties in unprecedented detail, so construction progress marks a step toward new measurements for particle physicists.
