In case you missed it, a small mammal, now known to be a beech marten, chewed through some electrical wiring at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), causing the world's largest particle accelerator to shut down operations.
Officially dubbed an “electrical perturbation,” an official LHC status daily summary states that the beech marten-originally thought to be a weasel-caused a short circuit on a 66-kilovolt transformer, damaging the connections.
