It will be the new home of engineers and technicians working on high-energy physics projects, like the Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and the proposed next-generation cosmic microwave background project called CMB-S4.
By the end of the year, SURF Director Mike Headley hopes to finalize plans to get a clear idea of the geometry and dimensions of the two caverns to fit the future physics experiments.
A discrepancy between different measurements of the Hubble constant makes scientists question whether something is amiss in our understanding of the universe.
Particle accelerators are some of the most complicated machines in science. Scientists are working on ways to run them with a diminishing amount of direction from humans.
