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.
Several hundred pounds of ultrapure copper recently made the journey from SURF, where it was manufactured, to another subterranean lab beneath the French Alps.
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR experiment at SURF proved the viability of new methods in the search for ultra-rare physics events. As the experiment decommissions, the lessons learned continue to drive future discovery.
Deep Science and Dark Mysteries, a project supported by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) brought a group of Lutheran pastors to SURF for dialogue on the research at America’s Underground Lab.
South Dakota Mines physics major Ryan Cantz has been selected to receive a Conference Experience for Undergraduates Award for the upcoming American Physical Society Division of Nuclear Physics scientific meeting.
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.
