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.
The Compact Accelerator System for Performing Astrophysical Research (CASPAR) allows researchers to study the forging of elements inside stars. The experiment recently restarted, after about four years of hibernation.
In their spare time after work, researchers working on LUX ZEPLIN at SURF built a set of interactive video games that mimic aspects of the world-leading dark matter detector. The games were a smash hit at the celebration of Dark Matter Day in Lead.
The Institute for Underground Science at SURF hosted the workshop with a focus on the newly refreshed South Dakota Science and Technology Plan. The event brought together the state’s public and private universities.
For the past 17 years, SURF's Wastewater Treatment Plant has treated more than 10 billion gallons of water—with no permit violations. This excellent track record is thanks to a dedicated team who continually monitor the treatment process.
Davis-Bahcall Scholars travel the world for four weeks each summer touring cutting-edge research facilities and meeting scientists who are leading their fields.
