RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — More than 100 physicists, chemists and other scientists from around the world will converge on Rapid City on Monday to discuss dark matter and other experiments being conducted at South Dakota’s underground laboratory in Lead (leed).

The South Dakota School of Mines & Technology will host the Conference on Science at the Sanford Underground Research Facility at the school’s Rapid City campus.

School of Mines scientists are involved in five high-level research projects being conducted or planned a mile underground at the lab that could lead to a better understanding of the origins and makeup of the universe.

The lab is located in the former Homestake gold mine.

Scientists will discuss subjects ranging from neutrino physics to dark matter to astrobiology and life in extreme environments.
