Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE)

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a large-scale scientific project designed to study neutrinos—tiny, nearly massless particles that pass through matter almost undetected. Located deep underground to shield from interference, DUNE sends a high-intensity neutrino beam from Fermilab in Illinois to detectors in South Dakota. By analyzing how neutrinos change as they travel, scientists aim to understand fundamental questions about the universe, such as why matter exists more than antimatter and how neutrinos influence cosmic evolution. DUNE's findings could unlock new insights into the universe's fundamental workings.
