Millions of pounds of steel are heading underground for @DUNEScience! Contributed by @CERN, over 2,500 steel beams are making an epic journey to @SanfordLab. Each piece is carefully lowered a mile underground to create the massive cryostats that will hold the DUNE far detectors.

Happy #DarkMatterDay! There's more to the cosmos than meets the eye. The precision of the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab makes it possible to listen for extremely faint signals from interactions between dark matter and muons. youtu.be/DvgfjMuPs00

At the heart of every star, a process called fusion is taking place, and that's what makes stars shine. Fusion powers stars for millions or billions of years. Now imagine if we could harness the power of the stars. 🔋
