Engineering innovation meets history in groundbreaking neutrino experiment hosted by Fermilab
At the Sanford Underground Research Facility, hovercraft technology is being used to efficiently move massive steel beams for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility/Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. Named after a beloved workhorse at the former gold mine that now contains the science facility, “Maggie II” is an innovative solution for the challenges of transporting heavy, awkwardly shaped beams underground to construct one of the largest physics experiments in the world.
