Excavation workers have finished carving out the future home of the gigantic particle detectors for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
The Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) has conducted the first underground blast in a major expansion of new research space nearly a mile below the surface.
Rigging crews at SURF are doing a series of tests on a large wooden model L-beam in anticipation of lowering the real thing down the shaft to the 4850L.
Rapid City Regional Airport has launched a new exhibition, "The Science at SURF: Images from the Underground, Lead, SD," showcasing a stunning collection of photographs captured at SURF.
The SDSTA is celebrating its 20th anniversary. The authority was created by state lawmakers and signed into state statute by then Governor Mike Rounds in 2004.
Marty Two Bulls Jr. is the 2024 SURF AiR. Two Bulls is an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and an artist and educator based in Rapid City, SD.
As a particle physicist, I work in a unique environment: a mile underground. I’m an experiment support scientist with the Sanford Underground Research Facility.
