AMERICA'S UNDERGROUND LAB
Nearly a mile beneath the Black Hills, the Sanford Underground Research Facility is where extraordinary conditions make extraordinary science possible. Deep within a former gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, layers of ancient rock shield some of the world's most sensitive experiments, allowing scientists to investigate the origins of matter, the nature of dark matter, neutrinos, and the fundamental building blocks of our universe.
