Hundreds of Black Hills residents joined the DUNE celebration in Lead by signing one of the massive beams that will be placed underground as part of the DUNE detector structures.

Officials and international partners of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment gathered in Lead, SD, on May 7 to celebrate the installation of the detector structures.

An event in Lead, SD to commemorate the start of moving 4.5 million kilograms of steel beams underground to hold DUNE’s detectors in place was attended by senior officials including CERN director-general Mark Thomson and Dario Gil, undersecretary for science at DOE.

An event at the far site of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota marked the start of steel beams being lowered underground to house DUNE’s massive particle detectors. The event was attended by senior leaders from the Department of Energy; members of Congress; Fermilab, CERN and SURF leadership; and members of the local community, all of whom had the chance to sign one of the steel beams being installed.

Fermilab and Northern Illinois University are joining forces to offer a unique Master of Science in Physics program specializing in quantum science and technology. This innovative graduate program combines the expertise of a DOE national laboratory quantum center and a prominent state university to prepare the next generation of quantum experts.

This past weekend, a new group of high school students graduated from the Saturday Morning Quantum program. Hosted by Fermilab, the course allows students to engage directly with lab quantum scientists and engineers while exploring core topics in quantum science.
