A little weasel-like animal known as a beech marten cut the power to the world's largest particle accelerator this week when it gnawed through an electrical transformer, according to CERN documents about the outage.
The marten reportedly wound up fried.


The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, runs Geneva's Large Hadron Collider, which is responsible for some of the most important discoveries in modern physics.
