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.
The Institute for Underground Science at SURF is launching the John Bahcall Colloquium, a monthly series of scientific lectures to build intellectual community while delving into the wide range of disciplines being researched at SURF.
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.
