Fermilab, CERN snd SURF crews have started building the first of 2 massive cryostats, or giant insulated containers designed to hold liquid argon at extremely cold temperatures for the DUNE experiment.

Teams from Fermilab, CERN, and SURF have teamed up to begin construction on the cryostats that will house approximately 17,000 tons of liquid argon.

Researchers supported by the Department of Energy are delving into the cosmic microwave background to better understand the early universe.

Black Hills State University has officially become an institutional member of DUNE, joining the international collaboration of more than 1,500 collaborators representing 228 institutions in 38 countries and CERN.
