Neutrino Day 2026 has highlighted the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) from the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota. This annual event, broadcast live from a mile underground, offers insight into the ambitious DUNE project, designed to study the fundamental properties of neutrinos and their role in the universe.

During the broadcast, key figures such as Mike Headley, SURF laboratory director, and Dr. Sowjanya Gollapinni, senior scientist for the DUNE experiment, participated. Their interventions provided details on the progress and scientific objectives of DUNE, which seeks to understand neutrino oscillation, mass hierarchy, and potential CP violation in the leptonic sector, which could explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.
