Massive 30-ton MicroBooNE Particle Detector Moved Into Place, Will See Neutrinos This Year
The MicroBooNE detector – a 30-ton, 40-foot-long cylindrical metal tank designed to detect ghostly particles called neutrinos – was carefully transported by truck across the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermilab site, from the warehouse building it was constructed in to the experimental hall three miles away.

Clouds Up Close
Study shows that current climate models lacking high spatial resolution are biased toward accelerating the transition from stratocumulus clouds to cumulus clouds. The findings could lead to more accurate climate projections and the development and implementation of better-informed policies related to climate change.
