Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory
Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory, Underground research laboratory in Lead, South Dakota, United States.
The research facility extends 7,400 feet beneath the surface in a former gold mine, containing 150,000 square feet of laboratories and experimental spaces.
The laboratory emerged from the transformation of Homestake Mine, established during the 1876 Black Hills Gold Rush, into a scientific research center in 2007.
The Davis-Bahcall Scholars Program at the facility enables students to explore international research facilities and develop scientific leadership capabilities.
Scientists conduct experiments protected by rock layers that shield sensitive equipment from cosmic radiation, enabling research into dark matter and neutrino physics.
The facility maintains 28 active research projects across multiple disciplines, including the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment sending particle beams through Earth.
