A weasel is suspected of chewing through a wire in one of 
science's most impressive machines.

The Large Hadron Collider is the largest particle accelerator in 
the world. It's designed to study the atom's nucleus by smashing 
atoms together really, really fast.

The charred body of a small mammal near a broken power line 
suggests the animal chewed through a wire, causing the machine 
to go offline.

A spokesperson for the European Council for Nuclear Research 
told NPR it could be as late as mid-May before the machine is 
completely back in order.

Pretty impressive when you think about it — the little critter 
apparently disabled a machine made up of close to 17 miles of 
superconducting magnets.
