VS plaatst 10 miljoen pond staal onder de grond voor neutrino-experiment

The US has begun lowering 10 million pounds of steel nearly a mile underground in South Dakota to construct the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), one of the world's most ambitious particle physics projects. Led by Fermilab in collaboration with CERN and the Sanford Underground Research Facility, the steel beams will form massive detector modules containing liquid argon cooled to -300 degrees Fahrenheit to capture neutrino interactions. Once operational, DUNE will send neutrino beams 800 miles from Illinois to the underground detectors, involving scientists and engineers from over
