Sanford Underground Research Facility

The Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) is a scientific research center located in an old gold mine in South Dakota. It is situated about a mile underground, which provides a unique environment for conducting experiments away from cosmic radiation and other interference found on the surface. Scientists at SURF study a variety of topics, including neutrino physics, astrophysics, and the properties of dark matter. The facility aims to expand our understanding of fundamental particles and the universe, contributing to major breakthroughs in science while fostering collaboration among researchers from around the world.
