Journey of the steel beams for DUNE

Show the full video description ›

Millions of pounds of steel are heading underground for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment! ⏬ Contributed by @CERN over 2,500 unique steel beams are making an epic journey to Sanford Underground Research Facility (@SanfordlabOrg). Each piece is carefully lowered one mile underground to create the massive cryostats that will hold the DUNE far detectors. Together with 1,500+ collaborators from 35+ countries, we are laying the groundwork to unlock the secrets of neutrinos and the origins of our universe. #DUNEscience #Neutrinos #ParticlePhysics #Fermilab #CERN #SanfordLab
