The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment analyzed the largest dataset ever collected by a dark matter detector. The record-breaking results provide the strongest constraints yet on low-mass WIMPs, proposed dark matter particles.
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.
In June 2025, after 14 years at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), Michelle Andresen said farewell to her colleagues and began the next chapter of her life: retirement.
