Engineers at CERN install a large cylindrical stainless-steel beam pipe section, suspended by a crane, as part of the Einstein Telescope pilot sector vacuum system.

Researcher at CERN stands next to a shiny cylindrical beam pipe prototype, looking through its interior, which shows a series of concentric ridges.
