Deep Underground Gravity Lab Hunts Mystery Waves

Sanford Lab Science Liaison Director Jaret Heise

An array of seismographs positioned throughout the former Homestake Mine can detect earthquakes that happen on the other side of the planet.

The NSF funded research at the Sanford Lab aims to learn more about how earthquake waves travel through rock.

The research could also help scientists establish a next generation gravity wave detector.
