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.
SURF is seeking applicants for its 2026 Artist-in-Residence (AiR) program. Each year, the SURF AiR program invites a selected artist to create work inspired by the underground research facility and the world-leading experiments it hosts.
Three photographers were chosen by a jury for their excellence in capturing images of America’s Underground Lab. Their work will now advance to the global competition.
Master riggers at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) oversee the complex process of safely transporting heavy equipment and loads between the surface and the deep underground.
The select group of eight photographers, who were chosen by a jury for their excellence in capturing images at Neutrino Day, will now get the opportunity to visit the underground laboratory.
The conveyances at SURF routinely travel a mile below the surface. This means trained rescue professionals are essential, as they can quickly get people to safety in the unlikely event anything goes wrong.
