SURF celebrated International Dark Matter Day with a trivia extravaganza! Watch the recording to test your own knowledge. Trivia categories include history and culture of the Black Hills, the major science headlines of 2022, and, of course, the search for dark matter!

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) collaboration announces their dark matter experiment's first results! This is a major milestone for the collaboration and for dark matter particle physics.

For nearly three decades, Dr. Raymond Davis Jr. counted neutrinos from the Sun on the 4850 Level of the Homestake Mine (now the Sanford Underground Research Facility, or SURF). A chemist from Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, Davis’ methodic approach to understanding neutrinos forever changed physics and earned Davis a share of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Rylan Sprague, a botanist and natural resource specialist, discusses the cultural significance of native plant species in the Black Hills. Sprague, a botanist and natural resource specialist for the Bureau of Land Management, will introduce us to the distinctive habitats within the Black Hills and how each habitat supports a unique array of plant life. As a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Sprague will share about the cultural influence of several native plant species. Some of these species will be featured in Cangleska Wakan, the Sacred Circle Garden that will be built on a hilltop at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF).

Deep Talks: Moving science forward takes our audience behind the scenes of the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). From operating hoists and shafts to coordinating projects a mile underground to protecting our environment, we’ll talk about what it takes to make deep science happen each day.

At Sanford Underground Research Facility's 2021 Nobel Day celebration, Science Director Jaret Heise dives deep into the pioneering research of Dr. Raymond Davis. Davis' Solar Neutrino Experiment confounded the neutrino science community for decades and ultimately won a share of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics.

How are we making space for the largest particle physics experiment on U.S. soil? To study the properties of neutrinos, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will fire a beam of the particles from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) campus in Batavia, Illinois, about 800 miles straight through the earth to SURF in Lead, South Dakota.
