Quantum sensors and quantum computers may benefit from a reduction in cosmic-ray muons offered in places like the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD.
Several hundred pounds of ultrapure copper recently made the journey from SURF, where it was manufactured, to another subterranean lab beneath the French Alps—all in support of the global hunt for dark matter.
The National Science Foundation has awarded a $7 million EPSCoR RII E-RISE grant to launch Ge-STAR: Germanium-based Science and Technology Advancement Research, a transformative project involving universities across the state and research at SURF.
LUX ZEPLIN (LZ) is maintained by a talented team of scientists, engineers, technicians, and students whose tireless labor keeps the experiment running a mile underground.
