WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory issued the following news release:
Last week, crews at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in South Dakota strapped the central component of LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) - the largest direct-detection dark matter experiment in the U.S. - below an elevator and s-l-o-w-l-y lowered it 4,850 feet down a shaft formerly used in gold-mining operations.
This final journey of LZ's centra . . .
