Touring the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota
I was fortunate enough to tour the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. The SURF hosted a robotics competition coordinated by Black Hills State University. The competition was the culmination of the season for students from Spearfish Middle School and from Belle Fourche Middle School. I live in Lead and think it is amazing that experiments conducted in this very facility by Raymond Davis Jr., along with two other scientists, resulted in the 2002 Nobel Prize for Physics for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, in particular for the detection of cosmic neutrinos. Physicists from around the world continue conducting ground-breaking experiments that contribute to our understanding of the origins of the universe in what is described as the quietest place on earth.
Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota - May 22, 2017 - Travels With Phil - Unedited
This video shows the open pit Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota. It was one of the richest strikes in the western hemisphere. Sanford Labs has taken over much of the underground areas for neutrino research. It is just a few miles south of Deadwood. May 22, 2017. I was told after visiting here the correct way to pronounce the town's name is Leed, as in you can Lead a horse to water. Travels with Phil by Phil Konstantin -
